Dr. Kate Zeigler
Dr. Kate Zeigler is owner and senior geologist at Zeigler Geologic Consulting. Born in Montana and raised in Texas, she came to New Mexico in 1999 to continue her studies of geology. She earned her Bachelors from Rice University in Geology and Anthropology and obtained her M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of New Mexico in 2002 and 2008 respectively. Her master’s thesis focused on a large fossil bonebed near Ghost Ranch, New Mexico and her doctoral research included developing one of the first complete magnetic polarity chronologies for Triassic age rocks in New Mexico. Once finished with school, Kate went on to become a consulting geologist and found her calling in using her skillset to provide information about groundwater resources to agricultural producers and rural communities. She serves on the executive boards of the New Mexico Water Dialogue, El Llano Estacado RC&D Council, the New Mexico Chapter of the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG), and the New Mexico Geological Society Foundation. In October of 2012, Kate was named the New Mexico Geological Society's Honorary Member and in September 2015, she earned her Professional Geologist Certification from AIPG.
Christopher Tickner
Chris Tickner is a staff geologist at ZGC and has been working for ZGC since November 2020. He completed his B.S. in Earth & Planetary Sciences from the University of New Mexico in May 2019. His coursework included advanced courses in sedimentology and stratigraphy, as well as a three-week geologic field mapping course. Chris co-manages our well monitoring programs, and is a BLM-permitted Field Agent who can manages paleontological resource-related projects in New Mexico.
Our Student Interns
We consider ourselves quite fortunate to be able to provide hands-on internship work for students from University of Oklahoma, University of New Mexico and New Mexico Highlands University. Our student interns have had opportunities to participate in groundwater studies, geologic mapping, paleontological excavations, and paleontology resource survey.
