About Lite Geology
Lite Geology was started in the fall of 1992 as a quarterly publication geared at earth science teachers in New Mexico. We continue to publish Lite Geology on an intermittent basis. New issues will be posted on this site when they become available. Past issues were printed and distributed by mail. Future issues will be freely available online in PDF format. If you'd like, you can request to receive an e-mail notice when a new issue becomes available.
Lite Geology is written in a format that is less technical than other publications of the bureau. Included with the main articles are cartoons, puzzles, poetry, and other features designed to make learning fun. We also include information about teachers' resources, and upcoming geological and scientific events.
Back Issues:
Back issues of Lite Geology are available as free downloads in PDF format (Adobe Acrobat is required).
