SUBSURFACE is a magazine devoted to the exploration of landscape and the landscape architecture profession. It is the first student-run publication of its kind at Cal Poly Pomona school of landscape architecture and seeks to be an outlet for expression and educational growth pertaining to the field. As a student-run publication, the opportunities to expose the field of landscape architecture and describe contemporary landscapes are limitless. The quality of the magazine is only constrained by the passion of the students and their eagerness to explore and reveal the landscape at large. This is the first issue, and subsequent issues will be created by every senior class of the undergraduate program. The magazine is the brainchild of these people, class of 2008: Joel Carrasco, Courtney Embrey, Mitch Howard, Lance Hunter, Kim Kearney, Judy Lee, Joshua Llaneza, Bahar Mahgerefteh, and Jen Rueda.
