New Mexico Groundwater Conference
July 27 - 28, 2022
The objective of this American Ground Water Trust Conference is to discuss New Mexico's topical groundwater issues and to facilitate information sharing among landowners, groundwater end-users, regulators, management agencies, scientists, engineers, lawyers and citizens who have economic or environmental interests in water resources.
Meetings
September 29 - October 1, 2022
There is no denying that the geology in the Socorro region is fantastic, even if it may seem familiar to those of us who live here, and well-worth a third NMGS visit. The 2022 Fall Field Conference will showcase new mapping, geochronology, and other geologic studies that have occurred in the Socorro region since the 1983 Fall Field Conference. The array of rocks seen here include Proterozoic granites-gneisses, a complete Pennsylvanian-Permian section, Santa Fe Group deposits from all stages of rift deposition, and an intriguing set of post-Santa Fe Group terraces. Structures associated with the Laramide orogeny and rifting are also nicely exposed in the Socorro area.
