NMT Earth Science Club

The Earth Science Club is for students who would like to experience earth science outside of the classroom in a fun, informative way. The club organizes field trips and camping trips to places of geological interest. The highlights of this semester will be trips to White Sands National Monument and City of Rocks. In the spring we take a rafting trip on the Chama River.

The Earth Science Club not only benefits its members, but the campus and community as well. The ESC runs a can recycling program on campus. The ESC also does outreach with local schools. We regularly send members to local elementary schools to help with hydrology lessons, as well as plan one or two events each semester that teach children about earth science in a fun, hands-on way. We have received great feedback from both the teachers and the students.
