Salmon farms, seaweed life and snowless ski-fields are all bearing the brunt of recent heatwaves, according to a new study out today.
The research, which will be published in the academic journal Weather and Climate, homes in on the heatwaves that have been experienced here over the past three years.
The fifteen scholars involved in the exercise looked at their effects on the mountains and their implications for sea life.
James Bell, a co-author of the study and a marine biologist at Victoria University, spoke with Corin Dann.
