New Zealand: UC wind study has huge impact

Highlighting the University of Canterbury’s reputation for innovative research, a recent wind study has been named one of New Zealand’s latest research success stories.

Led by the university’s academic Professor Andrew Sturman (Geography), the project looked at the effects of complex terrain on local winds, using both measurement and modelling techniques.

The research team was surprised by the huge amount of consulting work that resulted from their findings. With implications for aviation, horticulture and wind-generated electricity, their clients now include most of New Zealand’s electricity generators, regional councils and environmental consulting companies. They have since been awarded two further grants for research, science and technology projects, worth more than $1 million.

Professor Marston Conder, President of the Royal Society’s Academy Council, said this “highlighted the fact that New Zealand has some outstanding researchers whose work has amazing impact, even when that is not seen at the time the work begins.”

New Zealand, a relatively young country, is known for it’s inventive ‘can-do’ attitude and adventurous spirit. And its popularity with international students has increased over the past six years.

The University of Canterbury offers undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Arts, Commerce, Education, Engineering, Fine Arts, Forestry, Law, Music and Science. They also have an excellent English language and Foundation program.
