The Deep South National Science Challenge is working to understand the role of the Antarctic and Southern Ocean in determining New Zealand’s future climate and how the impact this role has on key economic sectors, infrastructure and natural resources.

Robin McNeill, Space Operations Manager at Southland’s Awarua Satellite Ground Station (SGS) heads Great South’s space programme. He was born between the launch of Sputnik and Gagarin’s first space flight and believes that starting life between these momentous events meant he was always going to take an interest in space.

The Our Land and Water National Science Challenge aims to enhance the production and productivity of New Zealand’s primary sector, while maintaining and improving the quality of the country’s land and water for future generations.

The data in this report will provide insights into aspects of the infrastructure portfolio that are serving the system well, and areas where future system design should look to address gaps.
