Unm Sustainability Studies | Ra a Zine About Nuclear New Mexico HOME A ZINE ABOUT NUCLEAR NEW MEXICO FALL 2015 | UNM SUSTAINABILITY STUDIES | R.A. New Mexico is famous for being the home of the world’s first atomic bomb, but it is also home to many people, animals, and natural wonders. Since the Manhattan Project, New Mexico has become a sacrifice zone for the nuclear industry. Not only are health risks not fully disclosed with New Mexico inhabitants, but accidents have destroyed livelihoods. I made this zine to spread awareness about the impact of nuclearism in the place I call home, the place my family has called home for many S A C R generations, the place I love with all of my heart. With its colorful rock formations, high desert landscapes, sunshine-filled days, summer rainstorms, and rich cultural history, it is so much more than a rural state. New Mexico has been home to a wide ray of ecosystems for millions of years, and I F I C E it is a place that deserves to be protected. Z O N E It’s okay, it’s rural.

  • The Grants Uranium District, New Mexico: Update on Source, Deposition, and Exploration 1
    The Grants Uranium District, New Mexico: Update on Source, Deposition, and Exploration 1 VIRGINIA T. M cLEMORE 2 1. Manuscript received September 2, 2010; Accepted November 28, 2010 2. NM Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM, 87801; [email protected] ABSTRACT More than 340 million pounds (lbs) of U 3O8 have been produced from the Grants uranium deposits in New Mexico between 1948 and 2002, and at least 403 million lbs of U 3O8 remain as unmined resources. The Grants district is one of the largest uranium provinces in the world. The Grants district extends from east of Laguna to west of Gallup in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico. Three types of sandstone uranium deposits are recognized: tabular, redistributed (roll-front, fault- related), and remnant-primary. The tabular deposits formed during the Jurassic Westwater Canyon time. Subsequently, oxidizing solutions moved downdip, modifying tabular deposits into redistributed roll- front and fault-related deposits. Evidence, including age dates and geochemistry of the uranium deposits, suggests that redistributed deposits could have been formed shortly after deposition in the early Creta - ceous and from a second oxidation front during the mid-Tertiary. The source of uranium is important in understanding how the Grants deposits formed. Two possible sources exist: 1) the Zuni Mountains, which lie south of the district and consist of a Proterozoic granitic highland enriched in uranium with as much as 11 parts per million, and with high heat flow; and 2) vol - canic rocks erupted from a Jurassic arc volcanism, which formed southwest of the San Juan Basin, and deposited ash over much of the region.

  • A Reconnaissance Survey of the Western Part of the Durango-Gallup Coal Field of Colo­ Rado and New Mexico."
    A RECONNAISSANCE SURVEY OF THE WESTERN PART OF THE DURANGO-GALLUP COAL FIELD OF COLO­ RADO AND NEW MEXICO." By MILLARD K. SHALER. INTRODUCTION. The area of the Durango-Gallup coal field includes 13,500 square miles, of which 1,900 lie in Colorado and the remainder in New Mexico. The total production of coal in this field in 1905 b was about 660,600 short tons, valued at nearly $1,000,000, exclusive of coke, of which about 12,000 short tons were produced. The entire tonnage of the field is estimated at 80,000,000,000 short tons, by figuring con­ servatively on a total workable thickness of 6 feet underlying the area, although 10 feet is probably a closer approximation of the average. The Durango-Gallup coal field extends from the latitude of Durango, Colo., on the north to the latitude pf Salt Lake, 70 miles south of Gallup, N. Mex., on the south, a distance of about 200 miles. Chama, Elvado, and the Sierra Nacimiento, in longitude 106° 45', are situated near the eastern boundary of the field, and its western limit is the New Mexico-Arizona boundary line. The width of the field is about 150 miles. (See PI. XXII.) In altitude the surface ranges from 5,000 to 9,000 feet, with an average of about 6,500 feet. The topography is varied, but on the whole the country is an open plateau in which the streams have cut valleys nearly 1,000 feet in depth. This paper, as may be seen by reference to the map, treats only of that part of the Durango-Gallup field lying west of longitude 107° 30'; Hence the remainder of the area will be given no further consid­ eration.0 The principal towns in Colorado within the region here considered are Durango and Mancos, located on the Denver and Rio "This preliminary report will be followed by a fuller description of the entire field, now in prepa­ ration, which will appear at an early date as a publication of the Survey.

  • Van Dyke 2011 Ideology on the Chacoan Landscape.Pdf
    Ruth M. Van Dyke CHA P T E R 1 IDEOLOGY ON THE CHACOAN LANDSCAPE Landscape is the spatial milieu within which bodies and the social and material worlds intersect. Landscapes involve the archaeologically familiar environment of sites, features, topography, and resources, but they also have sensual and ideological dimensions. The term place emphasizes the lived experiences and meanings bound up in a particular space. In his Apache ethnography Wisdom Sits in Places, Keith Basso (1996) employed the term sense of place to describe the ways humans imbue their surroundings with memories, meanings, and aesthetic resonance. Place mak- ing—the construction of a meaningful landscape—is a sensual experience involv- ing sight, sound, smell, emotion, and memory. Lived, spatial experiences help affirm and challenge ideas about the world and our place in it. Landscapes also constrain and order—they are the spaces through which identities and power are negotiated. Because worldviews and ideologies are negotiated within a complex web of the social and the material, they are at least partially accessible to archae- ologists willing to take an interpretive approach to the past. Chaco Canyon in northwestern New Mexico is an aesthetically powerful place, in part because of the sky-filled horizontal topography of the Colorado Plateau. The canyon—in the center of the vast dish of the San Juan Basin—contains hid- den spaces, but the mesas that bound it are high places (figure 1.1).

Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 277 p. Abstract This study focuses on the cultural-historical environment of the 88,900-acre (35,560-ha) Valles Caldera National Preserve (VCNP) over the past four centuries of Spanish, Mexican, and U.S. governance. It includes a review and synthesis of available published and unpublished historical, ethnohistorical, and ethnographic literature about the human occupation of the area now contained within the VCNP. Documents include historical maps, texts, letters, diaries, business records, photographs, land and mineral patents, and court testimony. This study presents a cultural-historical framework of VCNP land use that will be useful to land managers and researchers in assessing the historical ecology of the property. It provides VCNP administrators and agents the cultural-historical background needed to develop management plans that acknowledge traditional associations with the Preserve, and offers managers additional background for structuring and acting on consultations with affiliated communities. The Authors Kurt F. Anschuetz, an archaeologist and anthropologist, is the Program Director of the RÍo Grande Foundation for Communities and Cultural Landscapes in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He provides educational opportunities and technical assistance to Indian, Hispanic, and Anglo communities working to sustain their traditional relations with the land, the water, and their cultural heritage resources in the face of rapid development.

  • Navajo Sacred Mountains
    • 29 Contested Landscapes of Navajo Sacred Mountains Kevin S. Blake Sacred mountains are integral to the Navajo worldview, yet their land use is often incongruous with their spiritual significance. Nearly all of the land of the six massifs that are deeply symbolic within Navajo ori­ gin stories is located beyond the Navajo Reservation on federal land. This paper compares Navajo symbolism to land use at Blanca Peak (CO), Mount Taylor (NM), San Francisco Peaks (AZ), Hesperus Moun­ tain (CO), Huerfano Mountain (NM), and Gobernador Knob (NM). Each mountain has mullicul/ural symbolism and land use that imprints several layers of meaning upon the peaks. Non-Navajo uses include transmission towers, ski areas, mineral development, and moun­ taineering, whereas Navajo use includes visits to collect plants and soil for ceremonies and to connect with spiritual powers. Public land management allempts to balance contrasting environmental percep­ tions, but competing resource demands and mountain aesthetics often create contested landscapes.
