Eric D. Anderson, Ph.D.
Eric Anderson is a Research Geophysicist with the Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center.
Eric's research is focused on solving mineral resource problems through the theory and application of geophysical methods. He integrates geophysical data with geology and mineral deposit models to understand the three-dimensional geologic framework within which ore deposits occur. He works mostly in the western US on mineral deposits that form in convergent margin settings.
