New Mexico Geological Society Annual Spring Meeting
Macey Center, Socorro, NM
April 21, 2023
Preliminary Program Available
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.

Student / Professional Mixer:
This event was well attended and well received at prior Spring Meetings, but was put on hold due to the pandemic since 2019. We will revive the mixer in 2023 with a buffet lunch that will again be free for students. The event will be from noon to 1:30 pm. In addition to a panel of professionals from various agencies and firms, the event offers a casual and informative venue for students to seek career advice from professionals. Students and professional representatives are encouraged to attend. Pre-registration will be required to get an accurate count for meals.
If you or your business can help support free student meals at the mixer, please contact the meeting organizers.
