The strata in the exposed cliff at Edwards Pit Park contains a record of how the landscape around Palmerston North evolved in response to climate change (glacial and interglacial) and mountain erosion. The presence of volcanic deposits is a reminder of the proximity of active volcanism and its likely influence on the region. Join sedimentologist, Julie Palmer, on a fascinating guided tour of the park.
