Climate Change altering wave height w/ Dr João Albuquerque: November 7, 2022

Researchers are predicting waves will get higher on New Zealand’s west coast, and lower on the east as a result of climate change.

Modelling at the University of Auckland also indicated shifts in wave direction, with implications for coastal erosion as waves hit the shore at altered angles.

Joe spoke to one of the researchers, Dr João Albuquerque, a PhD graduate from School of Environment at the University of Auckland about his findings.
