New Zealand-born Fellows of the Royal Society (2012)

unapi

The first Fellows of the Royal Society with connections to New Zealand were James Cook, Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander, all of whom came to the South Pacific in 1769 to observe the transit of Venus. They subsequently made contact with New Zealand Māori, mapped the islands of New Zealand, and made many scientific observations. Since 1879, 42 New Zealand-born Fellows have been elected. The backgrounds to and accomplishments of these 42 Fellows of the Royal Society are outlined and discussed in the order of their dates of election and scientific disciplines.
