Issue: 52 — Socorro—Geology and Outreach

Free Download 3.49 MB

Greetings from Socorro, and welcome to the fall edition of Lite Geology! Autumn is arguably the best time of the year to visit Socorro. Our first two Lite Geology articles explore geology in Socorro County, from the ancient Lake Socorro to our present-day Socorro magma body. Our guest writers Samantha Pressman and Marc Roux are a student and a teacher duo from Rochambeau, the French International School, in Bethesda, Maryland. Marc brought his high school class to New Mexico to tour our desert landscape, and geologists Steve Hook and Dave Love led them on an amazing tour of Socorro County’s Quebradas backcountry. Samantha wrote about her adventures in New Mexico, and her field trip descriptions and artwork are excellent! Marc Roux penned our “Through the Hand Lens” article and discusses his background and love of teaching. And Leah Tevis, New Mexico Tech Upward Bound teacher, rounds out this issue with her article about the New Mexico Tech mobile geoscience education outreach trailer.
