Hi all,
just to let you know that there is a good link to a Geological map at http://data.gns.cri.nz/geoatlas/index.jsp (cut and paste this address into your browser window) where you can zoom in on your area and also look at the legend (key) to the map to analyse what colour corresponds to what (this is found on the right which refers to the basement (or underlying rock) or the sedimentary and volcanic legend. Look at both to make up a picture of the geology of your area.

What new things have we all learned and how will we apply that knowledge.
Throught the course of this module, you have found out about relationships between New Zealand's plants and animals and overseas, this can go a log way to helping you understand more about the processes our special landmass has gone through. How do we now incorporate this into our interpretation to our clients?
