Statement
The Geological Map of New Zealand 1:1 000 000 was compiled by Steve Edbrooke (Kermadec Islands, North Island and northern South Island), Jane Forsyth (southern South Island, Stewart Island and the sub-Antarctic islands) and Richard Jongens (Fiordland). The map was compiled almost entirely from published maps from the QMAP 1:250 000 Geological Map of New Zealand series, with minor updating where more recent data was available. Geology of the Kermadec, Bounty, Snares, Antipodes, Auckland and Campbell islands, not included in the QMAP coverage, was compiled from a variety of published sources and, for the sub-Antarctic islands, recent unpublished mapping by Ian Turnbull.
