The Volcano city field trip hīkoi begins at Lake Pupuke, a 180,000-year-old volcanic crater between the suburbs of Takapuna and Milford on the North Shore of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Here, field trip Kaiārahi Andrew talks with Thomas, a geologist and research assistant for DEVORA (DEtermining VOlcanic Risk in Auckland), about the Auckland Volcanic Field (AVF).

You are on Rangitoto, an iconic landmark in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland and a unique volcano amongst the many in the Auckland Volcanic Field. Volcanologist Annahlise talks more about what makes Rangitoto so special.

Graham is a principal scientist for GNS Science. He knows a lot about volcanoes and the risks they pose to people and communities. In this video, Graham delves deeper into the eruptive nature of the Auckland Volcanic field and the hazards people face from a future eruption.

We’ve been given special access to the Emergency Coordination Centre at Auckland Council, where Angela, the Principal Science Advisor for Auckland Emergency Management, shares all you need to know about preparing for volcanic and other natural hazards.

A lot of work goes into collecting data during a seabed survey. How is this data used to create a nautical chart for mariners to use?

The field trip kicks off overlooking Tūranganui-a-Kiwa Poverty Bay. Brad from Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) takes us through the what, why and how of hydrographic surveying.

All aboard! Head out into Tūranganui-a-Kiwa Poverty Bay with the Discovery Marine Limited hydrography team. Senior Hydrographic Surveyor, Kate, is at the surveyor's desk and talks us through how the multibeam echo sounder works.
