 Well I research the effects of climate change on the water cycle, how much water there will be and how dry it might become in the next 100 years or so. We'll do it for basically all of New Zealand really. We focus on different sectors, say the hydropower sector. Hydropower provides about 50% of New Zealand's electricity supply and so how might that change in the future might we have more droughts, might we have fewer hydropower droughts back in the 90s. We had a serious drought that put a lot of pressure on household electricity use. It's a big team effort really. We take data from the past about the climate and about hydrology and how much water flows down the rivers and we make predictions about the future based on how we think the climate might change in the future. Basically the project is about to start and so we're just looking at the problem now. We're working out what the right questions to ask are, working out who to talk to. It can be challenging. You might spend a lot of time looking at a computer screen and so in a way you can lose some of the tangibilness of the issue but it's a real issue. The computer is run based on hydropower and so there's a real connection there if you think about it. I'm really looking forward to getting into this because it's a question that a lot of us have been asking for a while and we haven't got round to answering it so in a way I guess I'm impatient. I want to know what the answer is and I'm sure other people are too.
