Auckland Volcano Tours

18/02/2022

Got plans for the weekend? How about visiting one of Auckland's 53 volcanoes (or all 53 in one day if you're up for the challenge!). You can get an idea of which volcanoes to visit and how to get to them by using the amazing Geotrips website (filter by Auckland and volcanic) https://www.geotrips.org.nz/map.html

Another helpful resource is the "How to Visit Every Volcano in Auckland" checklist put together by DEVORA to make it easier for you to track which Auckland volcanoes you’ve been to and which ones you are yet to discover

Sometimes, in science, SO MUCH is written about a particular topic that it needs and deserves its own summary paper. This is called a review. I’m very excited to announce that DEVORA research…

Kia Ora Aucklanders! Do you work or live in the area indicated in the picture below? These areas may need to be evacuated in the event of a possible future eruption in the Auckland Volcanic Field. If you haven't done so already, we would greatly appreciate if you could complete this 20 minute survey to help researchers understand what people are thinking about during evacuations!
