Welcome to the GSNZ Annual Conference 2025 – Learning from the Past, Shaping the Future
Tēnā tātou katoa,
We would like to welcome you to the 2025 Geoscience Society of New Zealand conference in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. With our theme, “Learning from the Past, Shaping the Future”, we look forward to showcasing a wide range of geoscience from the fundamental to addressing the big societal challenges that Geoscience can contribute to.I orea te tuatara ka puta ki waho - A tuatara prodded with a stick will come out (of its hole) i.e. a problem is solved by continuing to find solutions.
Running from 24th-27th November on the Owen G Glenn Business School on campus at Waipapa Taumata Rau – The University of Auckland, the conference will include oral and poster sessions, pre-conference workshops and field trips.
Whaowhia te kete mātauranga - Fill the basket of knowledge.
Social functions will include an icebreaker event, gala dinner and less formal opportunities to engage.
Nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou ka ora ai te iwi - With my food basket and yours (i.e. working together) the people will thrive.
Affordable university accommodation will be available for attendees in the heart of the city. The wonderful EarthFest initiative will continue into a 3rd year in conjunction with this conference.
The local organising committee looks forward to seeing you all in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland in November.
