New Mexico Geological Society Annual Spring Meeting
Macey Center, Socorro, NM
April 17, 2026

Overview:

Every spring, the Society holds a meeting in Socorro to allow presentation of geoscience research, principally from New Mexico and adjacent areas (including Mexico). The meeting features a variety of technical sessions that span the breadth of topics of the geosciences including geology, hydrology, geophysics, paleontology, and mineral resources. This event is always well attended, and is a great way to meet other researchers and students working in New Mexico.

Student participation is highly encouraged as this meeting provides an excellent venue for student presentations. During the meeting, several Society scholarships are awarded to students from New Mexico.

Spring Meeting Announcement

Lessons Learned from New Mexico's Landscapes

The 2026 New Mexico Geological Society Spring meeting will be held at the Macey Center, New Mexico Tech, Socorro, NM, on Friday, April 17. The theme of the meeting is Lessons Learned from New Mexico's Landscapes. Like New Mexico's cultural diversity, New Mexico has a wealth of diverse landscapes that reflect its geologic underpinnings, related topographic and ecosystem differences, and rich resources associated with these varied regions. Over the decades, earth scientists have advanced our understanding and gained insights (lessons) into how each region responds to dynamic environmental changes, impacts the management of our resources, and reflects different approaches to those policies that will sustain the resources and environment. We invite papers that highlight our understanding and the lessons we have learned from our diverse and remarkable landscapes.
