- In celebration of Earth Science Week, we began collaborating in 2009 with the staff at KUNM radio to create a week-long series of stories on the geology of New Mexico called Earth Matters: Field Notes on the Geology of New Mexico's Enchanting Landscapes. We have posted podcasts of the radio spots in case you missed them or want to hear them again.
If you have an event of interest to the geoscience community in and around New Mexico, use the 'comments' email link below to contact the webmaster and we'll post it here.
