Two practitioner-researchers will share practical, iwi-led approaches that blend Te Ao Māori with science to build coastal resilience across Aotearoa. This free event is open to all—please share with your whānau, friends, and networks!
Presenters:
Ruby Mckenzie Sheat (Te Kūwaha, Earth Sciences NZ) is an early-career environmental researcher specialising in climate and hazards. Her work focuses on weaving mātauranga Māori with science to support iwi and hapū-led adaptation and hazard planning.
Dr Akuhata Bailey-Winiata (Tūhourangi, Ngāti Whakaue, Ngāti Tūtetawha) is a climate adaptation and natural hazards scientist at PDP. His PhD developed an adaptation framework that supports the resilience aspirations of hapū and iwi Māori.
Featured Projects:
- Te Pokohiwi o Kupe Case Study: Co-developed with Rangitāne o Wairau, this research assesses coastal inundation risks at one of Aotearoa’s earliest archaeological sites, integrating mātauranga Māori with scientific modelling.
- Te Ao Māori and Climate Adaptation: Drawing on historical Māori relocations and current iwi-led initiatives, this presentation explores how Indigenous knowledge informs climate resilience and adaptation planning.
The New Zealand Coastal Society (NZCS) invites you to a webinar exploring how climate change adaptation is strengthened through the leadership and integration of mātauranga Māori.
