Welcome to Wellington,
\nthe vibrant capital of New Zealand<\/h2>\n

Perched on the water’s edge at the southern end of the North Island and nestled between green hills and a sparkling harbour, Wellington is a little city with a big heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Surrounded by nature and fuelled by creative energy, Wellington is a compact city with a powerful mix of culture, history, nature and cuisine.\u00a0 With a vibrant arts scene, fabulous caf\u00e9 and restaurant culture nestled round the stunning waterfront, it must be one of the easiest cities in the world to get around on foot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wander through hidden laneways to discover street art and follow the sculpture walks along Wellington’s waterfront. Discover the stories of Aotearoa New Zealand in world-class museums and galleries – the interactive and immersive national museum, Te Papa is a must-visit. Ride the iconic Wellington Cable Car for amazing views of the city while you enjoy an ice cream at the top.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Immerse yourself in nature and explore by bike, foot, kayak, or ferry. Relax at Oriental Bay, Wellington’s golden-sand inner-city beach, before walking the Southern Walkway trail to Wellington’s rugged south coast. Venture north to explore the Remutaka Cycle Trail, one of New Zealand’s Great Rides, or the Escarpment Track, where you can experience spectacular views of the K\u0101piti Coast as you scale steep steps, ridgelines, and swing bridges.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wellington enjoys more cafes, bars and restaurants than New York City, and its coffee and craft beer producers are internationally recognised.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Welcome to Wellington; a creative, cosmopolitan city, which combines the sophistication of a capital with the warmth and personality of a village.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tLocal Organising Committee\t<\/h2>\n\t

The core organising team at present comprises one individual from each university with a geoscience department and the two government organisations that have a geoscience focus.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t

    \n
  • Cliff Atkins.<\/strong> Senior lecturer with interests in polar (Antarctica) aeolian and glacio- marine sedimentation, terrestrial cold-based glaciers and the interaction with the landscape, and Paleogene to Quaternary New Zealand marine and terrestrial depositional environments. Victoria University, Wellington.<\/li>\n
  • Kari Bassett.\u00a0<\/strong>Senior lecturer specialising in sedimentology basin analysis, provenance analysis and geoarcheology. University of Canterbury, Christchurch.<\/li>\n
  • Catherine Chagu\u00e9.<\/strong> Editor-in-Chief of Sedimentary Geology. Current research focus is on sedimentology and geochemistry of extreme event deposits. Honorary senior lecturer at UNSW Sydney (University of New South Wales) and ‘Emeritus’ scientist at NIWA, Christchurch.<\/li>\n
  • Greer Gilmer.<\/strong> Postdoctoral Fellow, GNS Science, Te P\u016b Ao.<\/li>\n
  • Szabolcs K\u00f3sik<\/strong>. Horizons Regional Council.<\/li>\n
  • Andrew La Croix<\/strong>. Lecturer working on the integration of sedimentology, ichnology, and stratigraphy to study modern depositional environments and build analogues for deciphering the sedimentary record. University of Waikato, Hamilton.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t
      \n
    • Karoly Nemeth.<\/strong> Professor of Geology specialising in volcano-sedimentology, crater lakes, geoheritage, and geoconservation. Massey University, Palmerston North.

    • Matthew Ryan.<\/strong> Toit\u016b Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand.<\/li>\n
    • Lorna Strachan.<\/strong> Associate Professor in Sedimentology at the University of Auckland. Her research uses multiproxy high-resolution analyses of deep-marine deposits to unravel past physical and biogenic processes to help understand the interactions between the deep ocean, geodynamics, and climate.<\/li>\n
    • Dominic Strogen<\/strong>. Senior geologist with interests in basin analysis, paleogeography, petrography, stratigraphy and regional geological mapping, groundwater, CCS and hydrogen storage. Focuses on integrating varied geological datasets to assess the tectonostratigraphic evolution of Zealandia on scales ranging from individual basins to tectonic and paleogeographic reconstructions of the wider SW Pacific. Earth Sciences New Zealand, Lower Hutt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
