This dataset represents the topographic boundaries compiled from several LINZ Topomap datasets obtained under a Creative Commons licence and developed to complement the geological data. The dataset is part of the Geology of the Napier-Hastings urban area collection produced by GNS Science. The dataset is associated with Lee JM, Begg JG, Bland KJ 2020.

This dataset represents the formlines present at or near the surface and comprises arcs depicting generalised structure of basement rocks. The dataset is part of the Geological Map of New Zealand collection produced by GNS Science. The mapping frame within which the features have been observed is defined as bedrock (i.e the solid rock that may either be exposed at the topographic surface or covered by other unconsolidated deposits). The data structure complies with the GeoSciML 4.1 standard, where relevant, and uses the appropriate CGI Controlled Vocabularies. The dataset is associated with Heron, D.W. (custodian) 2020: Geological Map of New Zealand 1:250 000. GNS Science Geological Map 1 (3rd ed.). Lower Hutt, New Zealand. GNS Science. DOI: https://doi.org/10.21420/03PC-H178.

Raster files and contours of apparent resistivity collected at nominal electrode array spacings of 500 and 1000 m. DC resistivity mapping data collected by GNS Science and its predecessor organisations from the mid-1960s until 1997, primarily for geothermal exploration. Apparent resistivity varies by several orders of magnitude in the Taupō Volcanic Zone, where there is a significant resistivity contrast between rocks saturated with hot geothermal fluids and cold, siliceous volcanic rocks. Over 32,000 DC resistivity mapping observations have been made in New Zealand. The greatest number of measurements are in the Taupō Volcanic Zone, with some smaller surveys in the Waihi area and Ngawha in Northland. All data collected since 1970 have been with the Schlumberger electrode configurations with nominal electrode spacings of AB/2 = 500m and AB/2 = 1000m. Prior to 1970, DC resistivity data were mostly collected using a Wenner array with electrode spacing 1800 ft (549 m) and 3600 ft (1097 m). Data collected in Lake Taupō used two 150 m long dipoles towed behind small boats, each boat separated by 500 m forming an equatorial dipole-dipole array.

This dataset represents the landslide boundaries present at or near the surface and comprises arcs with attributes describing the type of contact and its accuracy. The dataset is part of the Geology of the Tongariro National Park area collection produced by GNS Science. It is stored in an ESRI vector geodatabase and exported to a shapefile.
