Biography

Anna Crowell is the Technical Writer/Editor for the College of Engineering and Mines (CEM), where she offers guidance and assistance with proposals and peer-reviewed journal articles. Dr. Crowell is also an instructor, currently teaching research methods to graduate students, structural geology, global warming, and planetary science. She was a member of the Department of Energy’s Resource Assessment and Environmental Analysis Working Group (REAWG) from 2011-2016, using her expertise to help inform the Energy Department about geothermal energy production. Her research interests include geology (specifically, structural and planetary), remote sensing, geophysics, geothermal resource evaluation and assessment, heat flow, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
