Lincoln Agritech’s Jeff Lang is one of just 20 early-career researchers to be awarded an Aotearoa New Zealand Tāwhia te Mana Research Fellowship. Worth $820,000 over four years, the fellowship will help Jeff develop a novel approach to identifying past earthquakes, using a natural record stored within caves. It’s all to do with groundwater, stalagmites, and magnesium.

About us
Established in 1964, Lincoln Agritech Ltd is a multidisciplinary research and development company owned by Lincoln University. We deliver leading-edge science and engineering for the environment, agriculture and industry. Our passion is to inquire and innovate, to drive science and engineering research to create new knowledge and technologies that enable our clients and stakeholders to prosper. Our work is funded through a combination of government-funded science programmes, contract research, and consultancy; examples of our work can be found throughout New Zealand and internationally: IRRICAD – Irrigation design software. IRRICAD is a world-leading design software program, specifically developed for the irrigation industry by Lincoln Agritech. Launched in 1988, today IRRICAD is distributed globally and sold to over 85 countries. Hydrometrics GW50 – Optical Groundwater Nitrate Sensor. Lincoln Agritech has developed a low-cost sensor that measures the concentration of nitrates in groundwater via monitoring wells. Deep South National Science Challenge - Using 4D drones to monitor cloud and snow formation, the project aims to enhance our understanding of weather systems and processes underlying climate change. Lincoln Agritech is a vibrant organisation with over 50 staff, including scientists, research engineers and software developers, working across our Lincoln and Hamilton sites. We combine a passion for discovery and invention with a down-to-earth pragmatism to deliver real outcomes across the whole primary sector value chain. Our people work closely with industry, central and local government, iwi, and communities to deliver “tomorrow’s solutions for today’s problems”. From a better business to a better world, our attitude is that our research must enhance New Zealand’s environmental, primary, and industrial sectors, and ultimately the well-being of New Zealand’s people, economy and environment.

Lincoln Agritech Limited is making a big splash at the NZ Hydrological Society conference in Blenheim! With our team of experts delivering thought-provoking presentations, we’re proud to contribute to shaping critical discussions in hydrology and environmental science. The events is an incredible opportunity to share insights, showcase our capabilities, and strengthen connections with the hydrological community. Looking forward to more engaging conversations as the conference continues! #EnvironmentalResearch #NZHS2024 #Hydrology #water #watermanagement
Standing room only at Thomas Wöhling’s talk on groundwater modelling at NZ Hydrological Society conference in Blenheim! Lincoln Agritech Limited has a strong showing at the conference this year, with presentations from Thomas Wöhling, Scott Wilson, Roland Stenger, Jungho Park, Helen Rutter, Linda Robb, Alice Sai Louie, and Lucille Guinevere Knight. Looking forward to catching up with colleagues and collaborators past, present and future!

“Growing up on a hill country farm in Scotland, I always wanted to be a farmer or have a career that involved working outside. “As a farming family, our environmental footprint was minimal. We had to look after the land and water to keep us and our farm healthy, as we had our own water supply and stock water came from a river running through the farm. “As a result, I’ve always been passionate about working in outdoor environments and find hands-on work fulfilling. “I originally studied physics at Glasgow University and then went travelling and settled in New Zealand, where I met my partner…” Read more about the job that provides Field Research Scientist Linda Robb a perfect mix of field research and desk-based analysis. https://lnkd.in/gDB_mZ3j #POLA #PeopleofLincolnAgritech #WomeninSTEM #FieldResearch #Agritech #research #STEMCareers

Make sure you catch up with our team at the NZ Hydrological Society conference this week. Details of their presentations below!
Looking forward to an exciting and informative time at the NZ Hydrological Society Conference next week. A big contingent from Lincoln Agritech Limited will be presenting on a wide variety of topics including Scott, Thomas and Alice (Braided Rivers research and Wairau Plains studies), Guin (groundwater recharge from ephemeral rivers), Linda (radon in groundwater), Jungho (modelling high frequency pH data in river water) and Roland Stenger (transit times and hydrological pathways). I'll be revisiting nitrate variability in groundwater and there importance of not relying on one-off samples, plus discussing shallow groundwater and its interaction with urban infrastructure and the resulting shallow groundwater hazard. Looking forward to a great week of being inspired and catching up with colleagues and friends 🙂

Discover the secrets beneath New Zealand’s braided rivers. In this webinar hydrogeologist Scott Wilson shares insights from a five-year project which has redefined how we manage braided rivers. Learn how unseen layers beneath these rivers affect our regional water systems, and how management choices can have unexpected impacts. https://lnkd.in/dJd7R9sQ #braidedrivers #watermanagement #riversystems #freshwater #aquiferrecharge #aquifer

Congratulations to our very own Jeffrey Lang for this well-deserved award!
Twenty early-career researchers and two distinguished researchers have received the inaugural Aotearoa New Zealand Tāwhia te Mana Research Fellowships. The Aotearoa New Zealand Tāwhia te Mana Research Fellowships support researchers at different career stages to produce excellent and impactful research and to develop into leaders in their fields, their respective host organisations and across the whole of the Aotearoa New Zealand science, innovation and technology (SI&T) system. The Fellowships will develop and improve the retention of future research leaders, support career development and enhance equity and diversity within the SI&T system. Twenty New Zealand Mana Tūāpapa Future Leader Fellowship have been awarded to promising early career researchers. Each recipient has been awarded $820,000 over the next four years. A further two researchers have been awarded the New Zealand Mana Tūārangi Distinguished Researcher Fellowship, worth a total value of $220,000 over one to two years.

The allure of wide-open spaces and the recommendation of a friend have brought Dutch students Destn Mulder and Rens van Heeringen to Lincoln Agritech for five-month internships. Two years ago, Joost Scholten was at Lincoln Agritech, developing a virtual reality app for farmers. “I know Joost,” says Dèstn. “I knew he had been here and had a good time.” Now Dèstn is working to help us develop a microwave animal fat depth and condition scoring sensor and Rens is helping with us with a Zespri International-funded project to assess the feasibility of using a robot in kiwifruit orchards.

We’re thrilled to be sponsoring the Waterways Postgraduate Student Conference, happening on November 12, and even more thrilled that Alice Sai Louie will be one of the presenters. Hot on the heels of our five-year braided rivers project, Alice will discuss how active-distributed temperature surveys were used to provide insight into how braided rivers recharge aquifers. She will be one of 39 students from Lincoln University (NZ) or the University of Canterbury highlighting their waterways research with either a presentation or poster. See you there! We’re looking forward to a fascinating day! https://lnkd.in/gTkPvBeS
