Скачать или смотреть Science New Zealand Awards 2021 - Simon Cox

Each year, the Science New Zealand Awards celebrate the very best in science working for New Zealand. In 2021, GNS Science’s Lifetime Achievement Award went to Simon Cox, Principal Scientist at GNS Science, an expert in geological mapping, structural geology, tectonics and fluid flow.

Simon’s achievements are almost too many to list here. From mapping which transformed our understanding of the Southern Alps and the Alpine Fault to increasing our understanding of groundwater as a hazard, it’s clear his work has made Aotearoa New Zealand a safer place. He’s also an expert in Antarctic mapping and has developed GeoMAP – a comprehensive geological catalogue of the Antarctic continent.

In this video we see highlights from Simon’s extraordinary career – and hear from his colleagues about his contribution to science in New Zealand.
