   abstract: "Linda C. Gundersen is Scientist Emeritus at the U.S. Geological Survey,\
     \ having spent 34 years there as a research scientist, program manager, and\
     \ senior executive before retiring in 2013. The first half of her career focused\
     \ on conducting and managing research projects in geochemistry, ore deposits,\
     \ and interdisciplinary studies of radionuclides in rocks, soils, and water;\
     \ eventually assessing the geologic radon potential of the United States.  She\
     \ received numerous grants from DOE, EPA, and NSF and worked with diverse partners\
     \ in the health and geological science communities. During 1995-98, she served\
     \ as program manager for both the Energy Resources and Mineral Resources Programs.\
     \  As the only geologist on the National Academies of Sciences Committee on\
     \ Risk Assessment of Exposure to Radon in Drinking Water from 1997-1999, she\
     \ contributed to the first multimedia risk assessment for exposure to radon\
     \ in water.  In 1998, she became a federal senior executive and the Associate\
     \ Chief Geologist for Operations. In 2001, she was appointed Chief Scientist\
     \ for Geology overseeing $260M in research programs encompassing the Earthquakes,\
     \ Volcanoes, Landslides, Coastal and Marine Geology, National Geologic Mapping,\
     \ Energy and Mineral Resources, and Global Climate Change programs. She served\
     \ in that capacity for 10 years before becoming the first Director of the Office\
     \ of Science Quality and Integrity where she established and directed scientific\
     \ integrity, ethics, education, career development, publication quality, research\
     \ excellence, and other programs across the USGS. She has co-authored or led\
     \ the development of scientific integrity policies for USGS (2007), Department\
     \ of Interior (2011), American Geosciences Institute (2015), and the American\
     \ Geophysical Union (2012 and 2017). She recently served on the Geological Society\
     \ of America Ad Hoc Committee on Ethics. She is editor and an author of the\
     \ bookScientific Integrity and Ethics in the Geosciences(2017).  She served\
     \ on the National Academies of Science Committee on the Impacts of Sexual Harassment\
     \ in Academia whose reportSexual Harassment of Women: Climate, Culture, and\
     \ Consequenceswas released in June 2018.  Her academic background includes undergraduate\
     \ and graduate work in structural geology and geochemistry at Stony Brook University\
     \ and at the University of Colorado, Boulder. She received the DOI Superior,\
     \ Meritorious, and Distinguished Service Awards, the Unit of Excellence Award\
     \ and the Secretary of the Interior\u2019s Bronze Executive Leadership Award.\
     \ She is a Fellow of the Geological Society of America and was also honored\
     \ with GSA\u2019s Outstanding Contributions to Geoinformatics award.  She has\
     \ published numerous papers and presented hundreds of lectures in the fields\
     \ of geology, geoinformatics, science management, scientific integrity, and\
     \ ethics."
