Students are working with Entomologist, Dr Rob Cruickshank, and Volcanologist Dr Ben Kennedy to learn about different invertebrates (what they indicate about an environment and how to catch, identify, and monitor) as well as exploring and analysing flight paths of different sized and shaped balls as models of lava bombs in a volcanic eruption. Click **[HERE](https://drive.google.com/file/d/115fZL9CLqD0X9aP8d84AnlWYhzFxZW5Y/view?usp=sharing)** to check out the short video clip of them in action! The projects they will work on at the University of Canterbury are transferable to our local area. Students can use the research skills they learn with the Scientists to continue investigating in our rōpu. Students will establish connections with the Scientists beyond the trip itself, to gain further understanding of research projects they may work on, or research in the future.
