Securing the Wind? Governing Atmospheric Life Above Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Geographer, Volume 82, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Birds, dust and smoke are all periodic windborne visitors to Aotearoa New Zealand. These visitors are, however, only the most visible tip of a churning atmosphere teeming with life. Drawing on work examining the assemblage of volumetric territoriality, this paper explores the framing of the atmosphere in biosecurity world‐making.
