University of Arizona Mineral MuseumThe Museum is dedicated to providing public education and the preservation of minerals and meteorites while also serving the research needs of professionals, students and collectors. The collection is world-wide in scope, but with specific emphasis on minerals from Arizona and Mexico.
The Department of Geosciences at the University of Arizona focuses on research and education dealing with the nature, genesis, and history of the Earth and its crust, and with the evolution of the environment and biota at the Earth's surface.
The Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum commemorates the mining industry that helped build Arizona. Arizona is the Nation's number one mining state with the largest value of non-fuel mineral production in the country.
The Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum can trace its origin back to the first Arizona Fair, held in November of 1884! The mineral display was said to "overshadow all else." The collection, already one of the finest in the world, has been growing and improving since that time.
Department Office and Museum Hours: Monday - Friday 8:00 - 5:00 Saturday 11:00 - 4:00 Museum Only Sunday Closed
The Arizona Geological Survey (AZGS) was established as an independent state agency on July 1, 1988
The Arizona Geological Survey is the latest in a line of academic departments and state agencies serving the people of the Arizona Territory and now the State of Arizona. In 1883, then Territorial Governor Tritle, requested federal assistance in establishing a geologic survey for the Arizona Territory.
School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University (SESE) — pronounced 'see-see' — is a bold initiative to combine science and engineering research and education in order to achieve a better understanding of the universe and, especially, our home world. At present, the School unites earth and planetary scientists with astronomers, and has strong collaborative ties with several other academic units at ASU, especially the Fulton School of Engineering.
This web site of Steve Reynolds, geology professor at Arizona State University, contains numerous color photographs, 3D perspectives, and information about the Geology of Arizona, Landscapes of the Southwest, structural geology, science-education reform, and using Bryce5 to illustrate geology (like the image above).
This page was designed to provide an overview of the geologic evolution of the state of Arizona. It is supplemented with photos, graphic reconstruction's and text which will bring to life nearly 2.0 billion years of Earth history recorded in the rocks and structures throughout Arizona. Use the time links below to explore different time intervals of Arizona history. Each link will present information about Arizona including the paleogeography of that time interval along with supporting photographs and illustrations.
