In this paper we use Lie group actions on noncompact Riemannian manifolds w
ith calibrations to construct calibrated submanifolds. In particular, if we
have an (n-1)-torus acting on a noncompact Calabi-Yau n-fold with a trivia
l first cohomology, then we have a special Lagrangian fibration on that n-f
old. We produce several families of examples for this construction and give
some applications to special Lagrangian geometry on compact almost Calabi-
Yau manifolds. We also use group actions on noncompact G(2)-manifolds to co
nstruct coassociative submanifolds, and we exhibit some new examples of coa
ssociative submanifolds via this setup.
