Middle Rio Grande Basin Geophysics

Continuing Studies

• The Cerrillos Uplift, the La Bajada constriction, and Hydrogeologic Framework of Santo Domingo Basin
  
  Geophysical interpretations have been developed into chapter contributions to a USGS professional paper focused on understanding the area under the Cerros del Rio volcanic field that represents the link between the Middle Rio Grande and Española basins. Lead editors of the whole report are Scott Minor and David Sawyer.
  
  
  • Gravity and Aeromagnetic Geophysics: V.J.S Grauch, David A. Sawyer, Scott A. Minor, Mark R. Hudson, and Ren A. Thompson
  • Electromagnetic Geophysics and Subsurface Mapping of Electrical Resistivity: Brian D. Rodriguez, Maria Deszcz-Pan, and David A. Sawyer
• Albuquerque Basin
  
  Work continues to try to understand the rift basin geometry of the Albuquerque Basin through understanding the gravity and aeromagnetic data in collaboration with geologists from the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources.
