This is the Geological Map of New Zealand (Chatham Islands) dataset collection produced by GNS Science. A Chatham Islands-specific NZGD2000 Transverse Mercator (EPSG:3793) projected coordinate system is used for these data that are east of the 180° meridian. The mapping frame within which the features have been observed is typically defined as surface geology (i.e. the bedrock and superficial deposits that are exposed at the topographic surface or would be visible if the overlying soil was removed). The data structure complies with the GeoSciML 4.1 standard, where relevant, and uses the appropriate CGI Controlled Vocabularies. This collection forms part of Heron, D.W. (custodian) 2023: Geological Map of New Zealand 1:250 000 (4th ed.) [digital data]. Lower Hutt (NZ): GNS Science. (GNS Science geological map; 1). https://doi.org/10.21420/5XTJ-5718.

This is the Geology of the Napier-Hastings urban area dataset collection produced by GNS Science. The mapping frame within which the features have been observed is typically defined as surface geology (i.e. the bedrock and superficial deposits that are exposed at the topographic surface or would be visible if the overlying soil was removed). The data structure complies with the GeoSciML 4.1 standard, where relevant, and uses the appropriate CGI Controlled Vocabularies.

This dataset has been superseded by a new edition (4th edition, 2023) available here: https://data.gns.cri.nz/metadata/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/3f6b15da-29a6-11ee-be56-0242ac120002. This dataset represents the metamorphic boundaries present at or near the surface. It represents the contacts between different mineral metamorphic facies within the geological units and comprises arcs with attributes describing the type of contact, its accuracy and exposure. 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 surface geology (i.e. the bedrock and superficial deposits that are exposed at the topographic surface or would be visible if the overlying soil was removed). 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.
