New Mexico Geology Publications

For the New Mexico geology enthusiast, I Currently have three publications under the High Desert Field Guide series, which can be purchased through local bookstores, UNM Press, or Amazon. Coauthored with Dick Huelster, these guides include geologic maps, diagrams, photos and text that describe the geologic story for: 1) the Abiquiu region, 2) the Valles Caldera, and 3) Tent Rocks National Monument. Selected references for the Abiquiu publication are provided below.
