The Moana Project builds New Zealand's first capability in the novel techniques of ocean data-assimilation modelling within an ambitious cross-institutional programme. The project represents an entirely new approach to the way we conduct oceanographic research. The work will bring New Zealand to the forefront of modern physical oceanography, while providing fundamental knowledge for the protection and management of our vast marine Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
The project assembles a world-class team, who couple robust scientific modelling techniques with agile, enabling technologies to make project outputs available to all. In this way, we will dramatically improve New Zealand's capability to address real-world problems.
