Scientists create a volcanic ashfall forecasting model for New Zealand's North Island, funded by Natural Hazards Commission.

Scientists at GNS Science are creating a forecasting model to predict the impact of volcanic ashfall from potential eruptions in New Zealand's North Island. Funded by the Natural Hazards Commission, the model will utilize scientific data, engineering reports, satellite images, and social media to provide timely assessments for emergency responders. Expected to be completed by the end of next year, the approach may be expanded to address other natural hazards in the future.
