DISCUSSION
\nOn Tuesday, October 17 at 7 p.m., three experts on Albuquerque\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s natural history will be presenting a lecture at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. Museum staff members Jayne Aubele, Tim Aydelott and Larry Crumpler will be discussing how the location and geology of the Albuquerque area influenced the unique growth of the city as part of the museum\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Voices in Science Series. Following the discussion, they will be signing copies of the new book to which they are contributors, Albuquerque: Portrait of a Western City (Clear Light Publishing, 2006). Admission is $2.00 for the general public, $1.00 for members, seniors and students.
\n Albuquerque\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s location has contributed to the flourishing of the city through the natural factors of the Rio Grande, the Sandias and Tijeras pass, among others. Aubele, Aydelott and Crumpler will talk about the Rio Grande Rift that caused the valley where the river now flows and the mountains that form our eastern skyline as well as the volcanoes that created our west mesa. Albuquerque has experienced 300 years as a city, thousands of years as a good place to live, and millions of years of geology.
\n Tim Aydelott is the Museum\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Public Information Officer. He has taught students all over the state about their local natural history in museum outreach programs. Jayne Aubele is Senior Education Specialist, a geologist who has extensive field experience in New Mexico. Larry Crumpler, Ph.D., is Research Curator, a geologist with particular interest in New Mexico\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s volcanoes. <\/p>\n
