I've had some questions about the talk below. No, there are no salt domes in New Mexico. Diana knew I would be talking about collapses in salt in New Mexico, and probably thought they were the same as the salt dome collapses in east Texas. The geology is a bit different, but the collapse mechanism is very similar. Come to the TSA convention this weekend and learn the details (and see some cool photos of karst in action as it creates giant holes in the ground!)
