Stacy Timmons

Working on the hydrogeology of New Mexico since 2004, Stacy has enjoyed working in various roles, from field data collection to project management, all around the southwest and New Mexico at the Bureau of Geology. Developing regional-scale hydrogeology projects to address critical societal questions or issues has been the emphasis of Stacy's work at the Bureau. A key aspect she enjoys is helping people understand their water resources, especially groundwater. Stacy began serving as an Associate Director for Hydrogeology Programs at the Bureau in 2019, which includes coordinating efforts of the Aquifer Mapping Program, the NM Water Data Initiative, and the Water Leaders Education Program.
