Field Trips
To further the geological education of staff from the
participating agencies of the TGI II project, two fieldtrips were
made during 2004 to visit field sites, located mainly in Manitoba’s
outcrop belt. As most of the TGI project concerned subsurface maps,
it was important that the researchers have an opportunity to view
stratigraphic units as they appear in outcrop. Two field guidebooks,
shown below, were prepared and are downloadable. Some pictures of
the fieldtrips are also presented.

Please contact the respective land owners before venturing onto
private and Crown lands.
Materials are available in alternate formats upon request.
