Environmental Hazard Manager
Dan is your role model for the Environmental Hazard Manager role. When he isn't wearing green wigs (you'll get this later), Dan (Ngāti Maniapoto, Waikato-Tainui) is an Earth Systems scientist at the University of Auckland. He works with communities to help realise their dreams and solve their challenges. Some recent and current projects include trying to listen to rivers, understanding how taniwha can help keep us safe, and looking at how what we do on land impacts our oceans. When not doing research or teaching Dan might be cycling with his whānau, surfing, paddle-boarding, hiking or fishing.
