A Bioecological Study Of Pinyon Pine-Juniper Association At Juan Tabo In The Sandia Mountains Of New Mexico, Robert Hallett Parker

Biology ETDs

A survey of literature shows that no community or bioecological study has ever been made of the pinyon pine-juniper association as it occurs in the Upper Sonoran Life Zone in New Mexico and southern Colorado. This deficiency of knowledge relative to the pinyon pine-juniper community is in direct contrast to several studies that have been made of the same community in Arizona and Utah by the presence of dominant trees of entirely different species. Relative to the association in New Mexico, one of the dominant tress, the pinyon pine (Pinus edulis Engelm), has been investigated, but no bioecological and …

Geology Of The Hagan Coal Basin, Earl P. Harrison

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

This study was undertaken with the foremost objective of determining the stratigraphy and structure of the area, and correlating it with known surrounding areas.

The method of study was through geologic mapping in the field. The formational contacts, faults and other features were studied in the field with the aid of aerial photographs. The sections were measured in the field by hand-leveling with a Brunton compass up across the exposures. The lithology of the formations was studied as the sections were measured. The base map was taken from a planimetric map prepared by the Soil Conservation Service from aerial photos. …

A Critical Analysis Of New Mexico School Laws, 1933-1947, Nathan B. Mcneilly

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

It is the purpose of this study (1) to analyze those New Mexico School laws which have been enacted since 1931; (2) to criticize them on the basis of their particular value, or lack of value, to public education in New Mexico; and (3) to suggest revisions which closely parallel the recommendations of outstanding research groups and authorities in the field of educational administration.

State school law is the foundation upon which a state education system is built. In view of this fact, it is highly important that those laws be periodically studied by educations in order that those which …

The Economic Aspects Of The Petroleum Industry In New Mexico, Kenneth William Olm

Economics ETDs

The primary objective of this study is to examine the petroleum industry in the state of New Mexico and the importance of the industry to the economy of the state. A secondary objective is to determine the probable future developments of the petroleum industry in New Mexico. Considerable capital investment has resulted from the growth of the industry within one state. Continued growth will result in additional investment, and in an increased demand for the labor which is necessary in the future expansion and operation of the several phases of the petroleum industry. Furthermore, a growing industry such as the …
