Abstract
Project LITHOPROBE is Canada's national, collaborative, multidsciplinary earth science program directed towards obtaining an enhanced understanding of how the North American Continent evolved. Research is focussed along ten transects that span the country geographically from Newfoundland (east coast) to Vencouver Island (west coast), and span geological time from the Hadean (>4 Ga) to the present. Along every transect is conducted seismic reflection, seismic refraction and electromagnetic surveys, as well as geological, geochronological and geochemical research activities.
