Well, the windchill the last two days has been pretty dang miserable, but we still made progress in Colfax and Union Counties, as well as with our Clines Corner producers. But we're glad to be home and thawing out a bit. We will be back in Union and Harding Counties next week!

Both teams are zipping through Mora and Colfax Counties getting our winter well monitoring to-do list taken care of! Watch for one of the trucks at a well near you (complete with Sophie to mind your livestock for you).

Posted by Doc Ziggy: Humbled and grateful this Thanksgiving season to be appointed to the federal Advisory Committee on Science Quality and Integrity through the Secretary of the Interior's office. This committee will provide recommendations both to the Secretary of the Interior and the USGS on a broad array of topics related to integrity, quality, etc of USGS science. A huge thank you to American Institute of Professional Geologists for the nomination to this committee.

And just like that, it's almost winter well monitoring season! We will be tackling western Mora County first, then moving east and north. Give a shout if you have a well in Mora, Union, Harding, Colfax, or southern Quay County and would like to add it to one of our monitoring networks.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and in the meantime, all of us wish you a very Happy Eat-A-Dinosaur Day!

We've been out of state on a long and complicated job, but we're back! A couple of small surveys this month and then it's winter well monitoring season again (already!). We're all glad to be home and getting a little downtime, but also looking forward to seeing everyone as we make our winter rounds.

We're just one week away from having summer well monitoring all wrapped up. As always, the biggest thanks we can offer to all our producer partners. We can't get this scale of work done without y'all (especially by having wells shut off before we get there!). We

Some useful short videos put out by the ever-educational and amazing NMSU Extension Services! These are part of the bigger USDA-funded ARID project that ZGC has been a part of for the last 6 years.

Persistent drought, dwindling water resources, and climate variability in western agroecosystems require anticipatory management.

ZGC's senior staff will be getting Ute Creek SWCD's groundwater monitoring project back up and running this week, as well as scampering around the southern half of our original "home", Union County! Then it's all hands on deck for the rest of Union and Las Animas County.

As we gear up to work with our SW Quay SWCD, Clovis, and Lingo producers next week, as well as get prepped for the Sentinel Landscapes Summit in Clovis, this partial quote from my dear friend and colleague Ramon Lucero sits close to the front of my mind:

"We manage water emotionally and not always with data."

There was more to the conversation than this, but this short sentence carries a lot of punch.

We are crankin'! Chris's team is almost done with Colfax County and is moving over to Mesa SWCD this coming week while Doc Ziggy's team keeps our paleo jobs on the straight and narrow. Last week was Deming, Las Cruces, and Vado and next week is Farmington before they rejoin the groundwater monitoring push.

We would also be remiss if we did not congratulate SW Quay, Mesa, and Ute Creek SWCDs for receiving Soil & Water Conservation Commission Water Quality Grants, which support ZGC's efforts in these SWCDs. Kudos!!
