From the Durango Herald: "Visiting scientists from across the country who attend the 30th annual conference of the Association of Abandoned Mine Lands Programs in Durango next week will learn that for geological diversity the Four Corners - for its size - is probably second to none in the world...[Jeff] Brame, a consultant to the gas and oil industries in Houston for 20 years before moving to Durango in mid-2003, will set the Four Corners geology scene as the keynote speaker for the almost 300 geologists, hydrologists, engineers, biologists and ecologists who have registered for the conference. The meeting runs from Sunday through Wednesday. The Four Corners area in the last 600 million years has been an ocean basin, river plain, mountain-building area and a scene of volcanic activity, Brame said. These different types of settings have left multiple traces of their passage on the landscape as well as a wealth of minerals beneath the surface."
