These pages represent the integrated labor of many people over the past 80 plus years. Where appropriate, authors are specifically cited; in other cases the collective labors of many are displayed. Full references for any diagram can be requested. The web site is designed and managed by April Johnson. Gabe Johnson assisted with programming of the web site. Drafting support has been provided by Teresa Hill. Collaboration between the Geological Survey of Pakistan, Peshawar University and teams from Dartmouth College, Yale University, Oregon State University, and Columbia University allowed the geological mapping to be accomplished.
This site is modeled on a site we are working on with the Denver Museum of Nature & Science for Colorado at www.coloradostratigraphy.org. Similar features and approaches will be observed. Your suggestions are welcome.
