Scientists studying deep-sea ecosystem recovery from Tonga eruption
Photo: Supplied / Shane Cronin, University of Auckland A team of scientists from the University of Tasmania is doing research on the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano. The 2022 eruption has been the subject of several scientific studies . The 54-day voyage brings together 40 researchers and technical staff from Australia, Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand, the UK, and the US. Voyage chief scientist Rebecca Carey said the "ground zero" underwater scene produced by the eruption offered a unique opportunity to study the recovery of deep-sea ecosystems. The researchers will map the seafloor and sub-seafloor, extract sediment cores, conduct marine life surveys and explore environmental DNA in seawater. Carey said this research will help build resilience and preparedness in the region for future volcanic events. "This volcano is just one of hundreds of shallow submarine volcanoes scattered across the southwest Pacific, whose eruption risks remain poorly understood," she said. "We are aiming to generate data products that support hazard assessments, inform risk models and guide recovery planning, by informing where vital new under-sea communications infrastructure should be installed to provide a back-up option in the event of future cable breaks." The eruption also triggered a tsunami which killed three people and left thousands homeless . This research, done in collaboration with the Tonga Geological Services and other Australian and international partners, is supported by a grant of sea time on ther vessel RV Investigator from Australia's Marine National Facility.

Pakistan Independence Day celebrations recall independence struggle
New Zealand's Pakistani community celebrated Pakistan Independence Day in major centres nationwide over the weekend, including Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Britain ended its colonial rule of the Indian subcontinent in 1947, resulting in the division of the region into two separate nations: India and Pakistan. Pakistanis and people of Pakistani origin worldwide typically come together on 14 August to mark the independence struggle each year. Besides flag-hoisting ceremonies, celebrations included poetry recitals, cultural performances, video screenings and patriotic songs. Asif Saeed Khan, president of the Pakistan Association of New Zealand, believed it was important to commemorate the anniversary to pass on the value of hard-won freedom to future generations. Asif Saeed Khan, president of the Pakistan Association of New Zealand Photo: RNZ / Blessen Tom Pakistan High Commissioner Faisal Aziz Ahmed was full of praise for New Zealand's multiculturalism. "People here have a tremendous amount of empathy ... [it's] a place where democracy works, where multiculturalism works," Ahmed said. "As Prime Minister Christopher Luxon mentioned, both our countries have a long-standing, warm relationship," he said. "The Kiwi Pakistani community has surprised and amazed me the most," he said. "They carry in their hearts love for Pakistan, but are essentially Kiwis in their outlook, individuality, egalitarianism and their care for humanity," he said. "The community, though small in number, plays an important role in New Zealand's security, development [and] prosperity."

"We are very proud to see our community heroes doing so well in the New Zealand society, including Muhammad Abbas, who has made his Black Caps debut, Haris Zeb, who plays for Auckland City Football Club, and Muhammad Usama Nasir, who is a regular actor at our beloved drama Shortland Street," Khan said. In Christchurch, Pakistan Association of Canterbury president Ishtiaq Ahmed appreciated the community in local regions for putting on a "vibrant display of culture, unity and pride".

Hina Nasir, a Pakistani Kiwi who attended celebrations in Auckland and Wellington, said the events "bring communities together, strengthen social cohesion and keep traditions alive". "I believe these moments give the next generations pride in their roots and remind [the] diaspora community that we can call Aotearoa New Zealand and Pakistan our collective home," Nasir said.
