Mary Pikul Anderson is a hydrologist, geologist, and professor emerita of hydrogeology. She is a fellow of the Geological Society of America, the American Geophysical Union,[1] and the National Academy of Engineering.[2]

Early life and education

Anderson was born September 30, 1948, in Buffalo, New York.[3] She received a B.A. degree at the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1970.[1] She earned an M.S. in 1971[1][4] and a PhD[5] in 1973 from Stanford University. After a brief time at Southampton College of Long Island University, she joined the faculty of the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1975 where she was promoted to professor in 1985.[1]

Anderson was elected as a member into the National Academy of Engineering in 2006 for leadership in the development of groundwater-flow models.[2] Anderson also served as president of the Hydrology Section of the American Geophysical Union from 1996 until 1998, and was the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Groundwater from 2002 until 2005.[1]

Research

Anderson's research involves groundwater–lake interaction and application of computer models.

She is co-author of two textbooks including Introduction to Groundwater Modeling[6] and Applied Groundwater Modeling, now in a 2nd edition (2015).[7] She has been cited as turning groundwater modeling into a "fundamental tool of practicing hydrologists."[8]
