GNS Seminar Thursday March 31st 11am: Simon Cox: Models of Groundwater Inundation as a consequence of Sea Level Rise

Dr Simon Cox, one of the team members of the STRAND Project, will deliver a discussion entitled “Empirical Geometric Models of Groundwater Inundation as a Consequence of Sea Level Rise”  via Team Meeting on Thursday March 31st 2022 at 11:00 am NZDT.

Link to Team Meeting: HERE

Abstract

The impacts of sea-level rise include rising shallow groundwater in coastal areas, which produces cascading and cumulative hazards.  Subsurface stormwater and wastewater networks are vulnerable and potentially prone to system collapse.  Groundwater infiltration reduces network capacity and can result in sewerage overflows, with associated public-health and environmental costs.  With large infrastructure redesign/renewals in mind, or possibility of managed retreat, we need to quantify the shallow groundwater hazard to inform and optimise investment decisions throughout New Zealand.  Continue reading

Climate change pulls strings on coastal property values

Otago University researchers examine property values and insurance premiums along the coast to reveal just how worried Kiwis should be.

The flat plains south of central Dunedin are  one of the city’s main living quarters, but the sea also rolls in and takes up residence from time to time.

Eleanor Doig, chair of South Dunedin Community Network, said the last big flood was back in 2015, when she watched her community deal with a water level threatening to rise up and flow into more than 1000 homes and businesses.

“A lot of the houses where people we were supporting were living went under,” she said. “It was disastrous.”

CoreLogic Press Release: Property data to power significant Otago University research into climate change

For immediate release 20 January, 2022

Property data to power significant Otago University research into climate change

University of Otago researchers have launched a vital study into climate change that will leverage CoreLogic NZ’s property database to learn how future coastal flooding could impact residential property values.

CoreLogic joins the Reserve Bank of New Zealand as key partners on the three-year inter-disciplinary Strand Marsden Fund Project, which will help the top-tier research institute fill a knowledge gap around geographical information systems, geology, climate change, real estate and potential banking losses.

A Shore Thing: NZ housing market unfazed by sea rise but Reserve Bank preps for change

Reserve Bank partners in investigation of the impact of climate risk on property prices. 

Strand Marsden is Royal Society-funded and also counts the Reserve Bank among its partners.

The project is trying to establish how prices will change once the market does react, and how exposed the banking sector is.

For the last seven months, Ivan Diaz-Rainey and a team of hydrogeologists, climate scientists, and financial experts have been quietly working away on the project.
