About the Institute
The institute was established in July of 1998 in collaboration with the College of Arts and Sciences at New Mexico State University and the Department of Geological Sciences as an independent fiscal entity.
The mission of the institute is to pursue the understanding of tectonic processes and the evolution of tectonic provinces. The immediate goal of the institute is to foster the growth of expertise in tectonic studies of all Department of Geological Sciences faculty, graduate students and undergraduate majors.
These goals will be achieved through:
1. Collaboration on research projects within the university, with other academic institutions and with industrial associates and benefactors.
2. Soliciting financial support from industrial and/or governmental consortia for specific
research projects set forth by the Institute.
3. Publication of research results of projects supported by the Institute.
4. Organizational and financial support of workshops and special colloquia designed to bring outside expertise to NMS
