Emeritus Professor Vince Neall

Towards a Manawatu Geopark

Rose City Aquatic Club Rooms, 50 Park Road, Palmerston North (next to the Lido)

Moves are afoot to create a Manawatu Geopark centred upon Te Apiti, the Manawatu Gorge and its surrounding environs. There is a wealth of geological and geomorphological opportunities for designated geosites which help explain the evolution of the region, both from a neotectonic but also past climate history standpoint.
In this talk I will explain the basis for a number of these sites and what you can see and understand about the geological history above a convergent plate boundary.
Note the new start time of 7:00 pm!
