Issue: 44 — The Geology of Southern New Mexico’s Parks, Monuments, and Public Lands

Free Download 17.0 MB

This issue of Lite Geology describes the geology found in wilderness areas featured in the upcoming New Mexico Bureau publication: The Geology of Southern New Mexico’s Parks, Monuments, and Public Lands. It also highlights southern New Mexico hikes, research, fossil discoveries, historical geology, and visitor information. This issue also details Rockin’ Around New Mexico, a geology workshop for K–12 teachers to be held this summer in Socorro at the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. Through writing about the beauty of southern New Mexico, we hope to persuade our readers to explore this land and to learn more about it by reading The Geology of Southern New Mexico’s Parks, Monuments, and Public Lands, which will be published later this year.
