This is the 4th in a series compiling geologic & engineering data on natural gas reservoirs in the major gas-producing regions of the US. It surveys 861 reservoirs in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah & New Mexico. Historically diverse engineering & production data from the 4 states are compiled & presented in a unified format. Based on similar characteristics, reservoirs are grouped into 66 "plays." Play boundaries not only include producing reservoirs, but wells with shows & other valuable information indicating the potential for additional gas discoveries. These data have been compiled into a single, up-to-date, easily accessible database. Appears to include two 3.5" diskettes and 10 additional separate sheets of supplemental materials stored in a pouch affixed inside the back cover.

The name "El Malpais" comes from early Spanish explorers. Literally it means "the bad country." The area, now known as El Malpais National Monument, has been a laboratory for natural history studies since the 1920s. This bulletin contains 14 chapters written by volcanologists, mineralogists, botanists, cave ecologists, zoologists, and others, representing more than 20,000 hours of field work from 1970 through 1996. There's something for everyone: Color photo atlas of volcanic landforms in El Morro area Comparative analysis of six Quaternary dating techniques as applied to lava flows Geologic history of Zuni-Bandera volcanic field Lava tube caves: formation and ecology-mineralogy, fauna, cave ice Lava flow plant and animal communities Rare, old trees including the oldest known living Douglas fir in North America History of wildfire History of human occupation Glossary of geological and biological terms Historic photos, maps, charts, species lists, and much more For this retrospective glimpse at the findings made during the 1940s in the Grants Malpais, the author concentrates on some of its features that he thought illustrates the uniqueness of the area. When the National Monument and Conservation Area were established in 1988, one of the National Park Service's first goals was to untangle the complex stories of El Malpais and their relationship to the global picture. Before the Park Service could develop interpretive materials, unanswered questions about unique features of the Monument needed scientific investigation. Beginning in 1989, the Park Service recruited and encouraged a broad range of scientists to delve into the secrets of this unique volcanic landscape.

Nestled between the banks of the Rio Grande and the Sandia Mountains of northern New Mexico, the city of Albuquerque has a rich geologic and cultural history. Number 18 in the popular Scenic Trip series, this guide provides a regional overview and includes six detailed road trips throughout the Albuquerque area north to Cerrillos and south to Los Lunas that offer a more in-depth look at local geologic and cultural features. Richly illustrated with rarely seen historic photos including the first geologic map of New Mexico from 1858 by geologist Jules Marcou, plus over 100 full color images, maps, and illustrations. Fully indexed, with glossary, 192 pages.

he Caballo Mountains, just south of Truth or Consequences, rise to an elevation of 7,065 feet. Today they are flanked on the west side by Caballo Reservoir and on the east side by the Jornada del Muerto. An extraordinary geologic section is preserved here. Precambrian igneous and metamorphic rocks (granites and schists) provide a view of the Precambrian history of this part of the country, and an extraordinary thickness of sedimentary rocks (whose collective thickness is more than 3.5 miles) gives us an unparalleled picture of the evolution of southern New Mexico. Development of these mountains began with compression and uplift associated with the Laramide orogeny, at the end of the Mesozoic. Since then the complex geologic history of this part of New Mexico has included uplift, erosion, faulting, volcanic activity, continental deposition, and, finally, the development of the Rio Grande rift. That complex geologic history is well documented in this volume. This memoir is the result of many years of study and field work on the part of the authors, who have drawn together in one place this comprehensive description of the region. The volume is heavily illustrated with photographs, maps, stratigraphic sections, and other graphics. It contains both an index and a glossary.

This is the newest Scenic Trip to be published by the bureau and follows the format of the 2003 Albuquerque Scenic Trip (number 18), which was the first to be published in the newly redesigned series. In addition to two introductory chapters (on Volcanoes of Northeastern New Mexico and The Geologic History of Northeastern New Mexico), the book contains four detailed road logs from Raton to Clayton. Like all of the books in this series, the book includes information on the rich cultural heritage of the region, including the Folsom site, one of the most significant Paleo-Indian sites in North America, and the Santa Fe Trail. Richly illustrated with color photos and illustrations as well as historic black-and-white photos, the book provides a look at one of the least visited parts of New Mexico, giving the reader a new appreciation for this corner of the state.

"Few places in the U.S. boast as rich a diversity of landscape and public lands as northern New Mexico. Here in one volume is an authoritative overview of the geology of these parks, monuments, and public lands, with information on the regional setting, the rock record, and the most prominent geologic features. The book includes chapters on nine national parks and monuments, seventeen state parks, and many of the most popular Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service units in this part of the state. Also included are chapters on two of our newer units, the Valles Caldera National Preserve and Kashe-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument. With nearly 300 full-color geologic maps, graphics, and photographs, the book is a perfect introduction to the some of New Mexico's most significant geologic landscapes."--Publisher's description.

The 2009 field guide provides a broad overview of geologic and resource management issues related to the rapidly growing Albuquerque metropolitan area. The 23 individual papers, written for a general audience, address the most critical of these issues, including water supply strategies for the future, geologic hazards of the Albuquerque area, saline waters and deep, non-potable aquifers, and flood control challenges. Several articles provide a broad overview of the geology and hydrology of the Albuquerque region. 152 pages with full color photographs, maps, illustrations, diagrams, tables, and a separate fold out map of the drainage facilities in the Albuquerque Metropolitan area.
