"The best geologist is the one who has seen the most rocks"
GSNZ wants to maintain a strong, and safe, fieldtrip culture in New Zealand Field safety guidelines
With the increased emphasis on Health and Safety, GSNZ
has developed fieldtrip safety guidelines. These are primarily for use
on its official conference fieldtrips but can also be used by branches.

Fieldguides
Since 2002 GSNZ fieldguides have been converted to pdf format and are posted here
for ready reference. Such guides often contain useful syntheses of
information that may not be published elsewhere. Proper citation is
encouraged and, where appropriate, users should contact the authors for
permission to cite material.
It is the responsibility of individuals to familiarise
themselves with hazards and safety requirements on any fieldtrip, and
also to obtain appropriate permission to enter property (possession of a
guide confers no privilege or exemption!). Wanaka Conference, 2016. GSNZ Misc Pub 145B
