Researchers discuss sedimentation near Gisborne, New Zealand, at the mouth of the Waipaoa River.

Source to Sink Workshop in New Zealand

This past spring, Walsh and Corbett traveled to Gisborne, New Zealand to participate in a workshop sponsored by the National Science Foundation.  The workshop was focused on research progress and the future of the MARGINS Source to Sink Initiative.  Researchers from around the world gave presentations and engaged in discussion on research in the two focus dispersal systems, the Fly River of Papua New Guinea and the Waipaoa River of New Zealand, and on related research in other areas.  Walsh and Corbett each were task with facilitating discussion in different sessions.  The organizers did a fabulous job coordinating the meeting, resulting in insightful dialogue and wonderful activities, including a great field trip to the Waipaoa watershed.  You can also take a tour the study area, virtually, by viewing this Google Map: CLICK HERE
