Do you use takeaway cups? Or do you have a reusable cup?

Dr Cécile Massiot will discuss opportunities for geothermal heat and electricity generation across New Zealand, and exciting perspectives for the near future.

This talk is part of The Sources of Our Resources, a series of science seminars from GNS Science to inform, educate and raise awareness of New Zealand’s unique natural resources. GNS scientists will offer insights into the latest research and the challenges and issues around their use and exploitation.

Come along and ask questions to initiate an informed dialogue on where these resources are found and how they will be managed and cared for in years to come.

No charge because you do all the work of harvesting. Think of all that yummy jam and chutney you could make! We have very technology advanced tools to help you - an unbent coat hanger for reaching, a tyre in the tree as a platform, and egg cartons to transport your fig rewards back to your house.

I am representing New Zealand at international medieval fighting tournaments in Italy and Scotland this year in May. For a look at my fighting and travel itinerary, you can see it on my fundraising video.

I have set myself the target of raising $5k (NZ) and I would greatly appreciate it if you share my video with others, encourage donations to my fighting funds, and wish me luck.
