Field Trips
Field trips in New Zealand cover virtually all the aspects of sedimentary geology, with the only notable exception being evaporites.
The trips proposed so far below have been selected to indicate as wide a range of sedimentary systems and process as possible and is by no means an exhaustive list.
Please note:
- You will be able to book a field trip during the registration process.
- Field trips will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
- The organising committee reserves the right to cancel a trip at any time, offering a full refund (of the field trip fee only) or offering the participant the opportunity to change to another available trip.
There will also be mid-conference field trips on Wednesday 28 January.
