TV Documentaries

Over the years I  have been involved in the science consultation, script editing and presenting of four TV documentaries about New Zealand geology.

The first was with my friend Bruno Cedat, a self taught documentary maker. It is called “New Zealand: Land of Adventure” ((Nouvelle Zelande, Terre d’Aventures). 

This doco covered our volcanoes, mountains and caves as adventure science and was made for a french TV audience.
