About the scholarship
This Ahunuku project, jointly hosted between VUW and Earth Sciences New Zealand (ESNZ), will focus on Ōkataina, using field methods to understand the volcano's past and present behaviour. The project will provide the scholarship recipient with the opportunity to gain skills and understanding in both seismic and geological fieldwork. The student will assist with fieldwork campaigns throughout the summer and will be expected to write a detailed report as a record of their work. The scholar must be prepared to spend a large portion of the summer in the Rotorua area (accommodation provided).
