Explore the fascinating world of geology through my eyes.

Whether you’re driving cross-country, on a camping trip, or a hike with your family, there's always something new to discover about the landscape.

I am a geologist, author, and outdoor enthusiast. I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with my husband and our three children. I studied geology and fine art at the University of Oregon, and completed my M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in geology at the University of New Mexico.

Fun fact: Distance running put me through undergraduate school (Go Ducks!). I ran professionally after college, qualifying for 2 US Olympic Marathon Trials. I now spend my free time hiking, exploring, writing, and sharing my love of the outdoors (&lots of rock talk) with my family. If you want to read more about my running and motherhood story, please see my running blog: Bun on the Run.
