Mr. Edward M. Warner earned a Bachelor's degree in geology from Colorado State University and a Master's degree in geology from UCLA. Ed was chief scientist and partner in Jonah Field, one of the largest natural gas development projects in the U.S. He maintains a close relationship with Colorado State University, serving as a faculty affiliate in Geosciences, sits on the Development Council, the President's Capital Campaign Task Force and the Geosciences Advisory Committee. His active association with the university began with yearly funding of a graduate teaching assistantship, seminars, discussions, and field trips he took with the university's Geology Club. Ed has funded two endowed chairs in the Geosciences Department, a spatial analysis laboratory, graduate teaching assistantships, and a research assistantship. His funding will further allow for the creation of an innovative community-based conservation institute, the Center for Collaborative Conservation, college-wide research grants, and further endowments to the Department of Geosciences and what is now known as the Warner College of Natural Resources.
