Issue: 45 — Water

Free Download 15.0 MB

In this issue of Lite Geology we discuss water and the myriad roles it plays on our planet. Water is important in the creation of fossils, is a critical natural resource, molds geological landforms, and as a key ingredient for life. Our water-themed journey takes readers from the gypsum of White Sands, through the Plains of San Agustin, into Snowy River Cave, down to explore the depths of the earth, up hydrothermal vents into well-maintained greenhouses, and through the minerals, aquifers, and mountains of New Mexico. Our Through the Handlens feature: Tech Trek at New Mexico Tech describes the AAUW sponsored Tech Trek program and opportunities for up and coming 8th grade girls to spend two weeks at New Mexico Tech for summer STEM fun!
