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]
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]
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]
