Scion hosted Dr. Don White, Director and lead researcher of Whitegum Forest and Natural Resource Management for 6 weeks. He worked with inFact Limited and NIWA to develop and improved the novel integrated forest hydrology catchment model bespoke for the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment Endeavour Forest Flows programme. Although the model is at an early stage of development, it is already providing very good predictions of tree water use and water yield for planted catchments. Also Dr. White also shared his extensive international tree ecophysiology expertise with Scion and The University of Waikato
