New Mexico, also known as the Land of Enchantment, has a landscape, culture, and history shaped by the state’s incredible geology. Whether it’s the prominent mesas and badlands of the San Juan Basin, the trace of life-sustaining rivers flanked by rugged peaks, or the remote volcanic mountains of the Gila Wilderness, the rich culture and history of our state are intimately tied to a geologic story. Understanding New Mexico’s geologic past, present, and future is a core mission of the state’s geological survey, the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. Founded in 1927 and located in Socorro, the survey studies the geology and hydrology of our state and takes a multifaceted approach to communicating science to all of our stakeholders—from school children to the interested public to decision-makers to professional geologists.
