Description
Retired geologist Dirk Van Hart discusses how Sandia Mountain was created, from its first “baby steps” to the magnificent edifice we see today. Geared toward the non-geologist, the information presented is a compilation of more than a century of work regarding the Sandia Mountain geology. Van Hart guarantees that afterwards, you’ll look at the mountain in a whole new way.
Dirk Van Hart has an MS in geology. He worked as a petroleum geologist for 25 years, followed by 25 years of consulting work and contract geology for Sandia National Laboratories. He has published a book about northwestern New Mexico and has given talks about the state’s geology. He is semi-retired and loves sharing his knowledge of local geology.
