INTERCOAST
Project review and preview - A report by Sarah Bartholomé (IC33)
24.01.2017
Kia ora koutou! More than two months have passed since my arrival in Hamilton and just about two months are left until I am heading back to Bremen – time for a review and preview at the same time:
At my first work day I enjoyed a warm welcome by my supervisor Barry Barton. He offered me his support and help for my work any time I needed it. Having my office on the same floor as he does makes it easy to talk and we had many fruitful and interesting discussions about my project. I was lucky enough to join the Law Faculty after its move to a new and very impressive building: My office is full of light and looking out of the window I enjoy a wonderful view over the top of the Hills of the Waikato Region. I recommend every INTERCOAST student who comes to Hamilton to have a quick look at the Law Faculty and especially having a tea or coffee in the tea room – it is an experience!

Te Piringa - Faculty of Law
Workwise I found good text material, read many interesting judgements of the Environment Court and I had some inspiring talks to professionals about my research topic: “Environmental models in administrative and judicial proceedings”. Lawyers and scientific experts here in New Zealand are likewise interested in the matter, as they are confronted in their daily work with the role of modelling evidence in environmental decision-making. Talking with them helps me to focus on the main issues in that context and supports my search for legal evaluation criteria for numerical modelling.

Many tasks are waiting for me in the next couple of weeks:
I will travel to Auckland to talk to scientists, environmental managers and judges about their view on the understanding of environmental models in law. I will attend the Hearing in Wellington on the Trans-Tasman Resources Limited 2016 application to extract and process iron sand within the South Taranaki Bight – one of my case studies as a sediment plume model is crucial for the Marine Consent Decision of the Environmental Protection Authority.

In addition, there are articles and judgements on my desk waiting to be read and thoughts in my head, which needs to be written down. Looking forward to eventful times!
