The GSNZ supports and publishes a large range of geological books, field guides, maps, newsletters, and other resources specific to Aotearoa New Zealand geoscience. Many of these are available for free download, while others are available for purchase directly or indirectly from this website.
To be able to purchase items from our shop you will need to login to the website, or register and create an account if you have not previously logged in. This is not the same as becoming a GSNZ member and you do not need to be a member to purchase our publications, although some publications are discounted if you are.
Our most popular book is the award-winning A Continent of the Move (featured in the image on the right). It is a beautifully-illustrated summary of the present knowledge of Aotearoa New Zealand geosciences with over 130 contributing authors.
A very popular resource is the Field wallet, a pocket-sized quick reference tool for geoscience fieldwork.
