Where I Live
Richard C. Aster, Professor of Geophysics
I live in Socorro, New Mexico, just one block away from the verdant
New Mexico Tech campus with my wife, Jan, and our two daughters, Ellen
and Julie. Socorro is an affordable, student-friendly community of about
10,000 with a great climate, wonderful southwestern culture and food, and
fabulous nearby outdoor recreation ranging from high desert to subalpine
mountains! Check out other photos of the Socorro region here.
