GNS Science geologists Mark Rattenbury and Julie Lee have been working on the QMAP geological mapping project since its inception in 1996.
The series of 22 maps is produced at a scale of 1:250 000, and will cover the whole country, as well as the dry valleys of Antarctica. Find out more about the QMAP project and the maps which have been published to date.
