CLIMPACTS, developed from 1993 with Richard Warrick and Gavin Kenny among its researchers, brought NIWA, AgResearch, Crop & Food Research, HortResearch, Landcare Research and university researchers into a common climate-impact assessment programme. Its national and regional work combined climate information with sector models to examine spatial changes in agricultural and horticultural suitability. That was a different model from QMAP or a corporate GIS: specialist science remained distributed across organisations, while a shared spatial framework allowed the components to be analysed together.
