GNS Science

About

We are the New Zealand research institute that focuses on geological resources, environmental and industrial isotopes, and natural hazards. We apply our scientific knowledge from the atomic to the planetary scale to create wealth, protect the environment, and improve the safety of people.

We operate as a limited liability company owned by the New Zealand government, with an independent Board of Directors. This unique structure allows us to:
- focus on strategically important science at a national level
- engage in the full spectrum of science from basic research through to product development and consultancy
- undertake work for both the public and private sectors
- operate internationally as well as within New Zealand
- have autonomy and self-determination.

Each year we invest the bulk of our tax-paid financial surpluses in scientific equipment and infrastructure. This ensures our capabilities keep pace with or lead international standards.
