New Mexico Geology

Aims & Scope

New Mexico Geology (NMG) publishes peer-reviewed research papers focusing on local topics of interest to the geoscientist.

Published quarterly since 1979, NMG transitioned to an online format in 2015, and is currently being issued twice a year.

Full-length research articles are generally less than 10,000 words in length and pertain to the geology of New Mexico and surrounding areas.

Shorter research papers are solicited as well, along with submissions to the Gallery of Geology, which presents images of geologic interest (landscape images, maps, specimen photos, etc.) accompanied by a short description.
