Is that NIWA air quality project still happening, or what?

In short... YES!

In fact, we're getting ready to gear up to launching some bigger and better air quality projects over the next few years exploring what new technologies offer scientists and communities alike.

Firstly a quick apology that we got out of the blogging habit last year. But our winter 2016 CONA study in Rangiora was hugely successful.We'll reveal how and why over a series of forthcoming posts.


Now we're busy getting ready for our third CONA pilot study. This will focus, one more time, on Rangiora in Canterbury. However, we are also considering whether we are ready to trial some of the CONA technologies and methods in other towns. More details to come soon...

Finally, we have been putting together a longer-term vision of how we aim to move CONA forward from a science experiment to something that can be adopted by communities and Regional Councils, and equivalent organisations overseas. We've been applying for larger research funding grants and been in conversation with other researchers in America, Europe and Australia to see how we can better learn from each other and work together.

So lots more to come, and we'll do our best to keep you informed through this blog.
