At the end of October she will arrive on Tauranga for the first time. The new route has resulted in new collaboration for the SNOMS project with Dr. Kim Currie from NIWA.
Kim is very keen to be involved, and is looking forward to the next step - perhaps a ship visit at Tauranga at the end of October.
Kim is an expert in the high-precision in situ pCO2 determination in surface seawater, and general carbon dioxide chemistry of seawater in the NZ region. Her work is part of a joint University of Otago-NIWA programme investigating, the CO2 chemistry of the New Zealand oceanic region. It aims to develop a better predictive capability for the role of this oceanic region as a sink for fossil fuel CO2.
