Las Cruces country: A geophysical and remote sensing perspective

Thus, the integration of a variety of data is required to unravel the tectonic history of this region. Here we present a filtered gravity map and Landsat Thematic Mapper mosaic of the region and make a few observations about their utility and implications.
