Today we celebrate International Women's Day (March 8) -- a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women's equality.

On this day, among the many remarkable women who have taught or studied at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, we honor Dr. Nelia Dunbar, who had done both. Nelia earned two degrees from New Mexico Tech -- an MS in geology in 1985 and a PhD in geochemistry in 1989. Her dissertation was based on investigation of volatile contents and degassing systematics of rhyoltic magmas from the Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand. Dr. Dunbar went on to serve as the Director of the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources and the New Mexico State Geologist. She now serves as an adjunct faculty member in the Earth and Environmental Science department at New Mexico Tech, teaching classes and advising graduate students. She also continues to be engaged in a range of research and outreach projects, including editing the Bureau's Earth Matters publication.
