Qualifications and experience 3 I am 64 years old and reside in Christchurch. I hold BSc (Hons) and PhD degrees in Chemistry from the University of Canterbury and have worked all my professional life until 2010 as a research chemist and scientist in wool science1 at the Wool Research Organisation of New Zealand (Inc) and its successors. 4 In the last five years I have been working virtually full time in a voluntary capacity as Conservation Officer for Whitewater NZ, on various issues concerning river and water conservation in New Zealand. 5 Since being introduced to sailing boats as a youngster, and then joining the University of Canterbury Canoe Club (UCCC) in 1971, and building my first canvas white water kayak, I have developed a life-long interest in white water paddling. This has involved me making journeys over the last forty six years to various well-known white water rivers throughout New Zealand and also in the United Kingdom, France, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Australia and the USA.
