Kiely McFarlane talks about freshwater in Aotearoa NZ and Canada

Dr Kiely McFarlane, one of the social scientists working on the Lakes380 research programme, was recently on Cawthron’s community radio show  talking about her PhD research on water law reforms in Canada and how she’s applying her skills in this area to the Lakes380 programme. In the interview Kiely discusses how modern geographical separation, through lakes now being located on private land, has affected how communities associate with lake ecosystems that have long been taonga for local people. She also provides her unique perspective on how law reforms in Aotearoa NZ and Canada have influenced freshwater health and how the two countries might learn from each other. Check out the interview here.

Kiely’s interview is part of a Cawthron Radio series with early career researchers, led by Dr Jonathan Puddick. We’ll keep you up-to-date about future instalments with other Lakes380 team members talking about their exciting research!!

New manuscript on Rototoa (Auckland)

New manuscript on Lake Rototoa in Auckland has bee New manuscript on Lake Rototoa in Auckland has been published!!

A new manuscript titled - Resolving 500 years of anthropogenic impacts in a mesotrophic lake: Nutrients outweigh other drivers of lake change - led by Dr Rose Gregersen (Victoria University of Wellington) has been published in the prestigious journal Environmental Science & Technology.

The research explores the history of Rototoa, a lake in the Auckland region of Aotearoa-New Zealand. The researches combined sediment core analysis with historical data, and ecological experiments to determine what was causing the decline in lake health in recent decades. 

The researchers show that the health of the lake remained stable despite catchment deforestation and erosion, and the introduction of several non-native fish species. The most significant and sustained changes in lake health coincided with nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers in the catchment.

Congratulations Rose on your excellent research!
