Donna Schmidt Anderson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Donna Schmidt Anderson is an American geologist who has been involved in academics at the Colorado School of Mines, geotechnical engineering in California, and in the oil and gas industry as an advisor and consultant.[1]

Education

[edit]

Anderson received a Bachelor of Arts in Earth Science and Geography from California State University (1974), Masters in geology from UCLA (1980), and a PHD from Colorado School of Mines in Geology specializing in sedimentology/stratigraphy (1997).[1][2]

Career

[edit]

Throughout her career, Anderson has worked in geotechnical engineering in California and served as an advisor and consultant in the oil and gas industry before retiring in 2015. Since 2000, she has also been a research professor in the Department of Geology and Geological Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines.[1]

Research

[edit]

Anderson published a geology guide book with author Paul B. Haseman called "Golden Rocks: The Geology and Mining History of Golden".[3] Anderson also has been involved in research regarding the use of tight gas reservoirs performance, through the use of geological processes.[4][5]
