Overview

Mission

The New Mexico geological society promotes interest in geology and associated sciences, fosters scientific research and publications, encourages cooperation among its members, and stimulates interest in New Mexico geology. These goals are met through annual fall field conferences held in different locations in New Mexico or adjoining states and annual spring meetings, generally held in socorro, New Mexico, where oral presentations on different aspects of New Mexico geology are given.

What it reported doing in 2025

Through sales of publications and charitable contributions, the society supports geologic studies in New Mexico. Several grants-in-aid and scholarships are presented annually to graduates and undergraduates studying at New Mexico colleges and universities. To promote the study of earth sciences at a younger age, savings bonds are given for winning earth and space-science projects at the New Mexico state science fair.
