About LITHOPROBe
LITHOPROBE is Canada's major national research project in the earth sciences. It combines multidisciplinary earth science studies of the Canadian landmass and surrounding offshore margins to determine how the northern North American continent has formed over geological time from 4000 million years ago to the present.

LITHOPROBE is funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada and the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), Natural Resources Canada.

The LITHOPROBE Final Report 2002-03 to 2004-05 was submitted to NSERC in July, 2005. To view the contents of the report please click on image (Adobe Acrobat).
