Geoethics Aotearoa New Zealand Seminar Series:
Sampling ethics and geo-data sovereignty in Aotearoa
Online, 22 July 2025 (3 pm, GMT+12)
This session will be a discussion of Te Tiriti compliance in geological sampling and recognising data as a Taonga, something to be treated with care and respect.
Karaitiana Taiuru (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāti Toa), an internationally recognised expert with Māori Data Sovereignty, will highlight issues and provide some solid examples of how to implement culturally safe Te Tiriti compliant data governance practices.
Ben Kennedy, a volcanologist and geoscience educator at University of Canterbury, will talk about his journey moving from a parachute scientist towards Tangata Te Tiriti, he and his team are still learning and still making mistakes on how to behave ethically when researching Aotearoa’s Maunga.
