The Montana Geological Society is thrilled to be publishing the very first edition of our new quarterly publication, the Montana Applied Geosciences MAgazine (MAGMA). This new publication is the result of our members’ feedback and interest in ongoing geoscience articles focused on Montana and Applied Geosciences. Inside this issue, you’ll find several articles featuring MGS members, local geology & history, events, and links to the road logs you can reference when viewing these locations for yourself.
