Our Students
Our history
The National Modelling Hub was set up as a partnership between NIWA, VUW and GNS, funded by the Antarctic Science Platform (ASP). Now, the Hub incorporates researchers from VUW, GNS Science and University of Canterbury, all of whom are funded through a range of research programmes.
The work of the Hub is coordinated by Nick Golledge and Liz Keller, Co-Chairs of the ASP Modelling and Future Projections Working Group.
Our work
The Modelling Hub researchers work across a range of projects, from Antarctic ice sheet modelling to climate change projections. See the team's recent publications at the link below.
