1 Ph.D., Geophysics, California Institute of Technology
ANDREA DONNELLAN, PH.D. Education Ph.D., Geophysics, California Institute of Technology (1991) M.S., Computer Science, University of Southern California (2003) M.S., Geophysics, California Institute of Technology (1988) B.S., Geology, Ohio State University, with honors and distinction in geology and minor in math (1986) Bio Andrea Donnellan has been employed in science research and related management positions since 1982. She thrives on building programs and developing new areas of research. Her work experience covers research, line, and program management. As Deputy Manager of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Science Division, she oversaw 400+ scientists, postdocs, students, and administrative staff. Throughout her career, Donnellan has remained active in research both because of her scientific curiosity and because she feels that effective leadership requires insights into research methods and the challenges faced by researchers. Her experience leading NASA’s Applied Sciences Program for Natural Disasters connected her to a wide range of institutions and lines of research. Mission experience includes pre-project scientist of DESDynI, which is now the NISAR mission, participation on review boards, and as a current member of the NISAR project team. For nearly 20 years Donnellan has managed GeoGateway (http://geo-gateway.org), previously called QuakeSim, a multi-institutional research team developing computational infrastructure for remote sensing data and studying earthquake processes. QuakeSim was awarded NASA’s Software of the Year Award in 2012. Donnellan was instrumental in establishing the Southern California Integrated GPS Network, a $20M initiative to use 250 continuous GPS stations to study earthquakes funded by NASA, the NSF, USGS, and WM Keck Foundation. -
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Bibliography Compiled and Edited by Jim Dice
Steele/Burnand Anza-Borrego Desert Research Center University of California, Irvine UCI – NATURE and UC Natural Reserve System California State Parks – Colorado Desert District Anza-Borrego Desert State Park & Anza-Borrego Foundation Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Bibliography Compiled and Edited by Jim Dice (revised 1/31/2019) A gaggle of geneticists in Borrego Palm Canyon – 1975. (L-R, Dr. Theodosius Dobzhansky, Dr. Steve Bryant, Dr. Richard Lewontin, Dr. Steve Jones, Dr. TimEDITOR’S Prout. Photo NOTE by Dr. John Moore, courtesy of Steve Jones) Editor’s Note The publications cited in this volume specifically mention and/or discuss Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, locations and/or features known to occur within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, biological, geological, paleontological or anthropological specimens collected from localities within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, or events that have occurred within those same boundaries. This compendium is not now, nor will it ever be complete (barring, of course, the end of the Earth or the Park). Many, many people have helped to corral the references contained herein (see below). Any errors of omission and comission are the fault of the editor – who would be grateful to have such errors and omissions pointed out! [[email protected]] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As mentioned above, many many people have contributed to building this database of knowledge about Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. A quantum leap was taken somewhere in 2016-17 when Kevin Browne introduced me to Google Scholar – and we were off to the races. Elaine Tulving deserves a special mention for her assistance in dealing with formatting issues, keeping printers working, filing hard copies, ignoring occasional foul language – occasionally falling prey to it herself, and occasionally livening things up with an exclamation of “oh come on now, you just made that word up!” Bob Theriault assisted in many ways and now has a lifetime job, if he wants it, entering these references into Zotero. -

They comprise an intact and rugged wilderness area connecting two countries and some of the richest montane and desert ecosystems in the world that support wide- ranging, iconic species, including mountain lion, California condor, and bighorn sheep.
