This book recognises a major milestone in the history of teaching and research in Geology at the University of Canterbury. Geology was first taught in Christchurch in 1872, shortly before Canterbury College was established within the University of New Zealand. Between 1872 and 2022 many changes have occurred, as the Department of Geology grew from a small group teaching situation to a large Department of Geological Sciences within the College of Science, before becoming part of the School of Earth and Environment in 2019. This paper initially describes developments in terms of three periods.
