The LITHOPROBE project is propelling Canadian earth scientists into the next century -- ahead of other nations' comparable efforts.
This continues a century-and-a-half-long Canadian tradition of excellence in this sector of science.

The LITHOPROBE project is unique for its choice of subject, its national scope, its complementary use of relevant earth-science disciplines, and its collaboration among federal and provincial geological surveys, the earth-science departments of most Canadian universities, and private industry. It is a multidisciplinary, all-Canadian undertaking in which Canadian earth scientists take justifiable pride.
