She has peer-reviewed 20 publications and presentations on international and domestic explorations and production of oil and gas.
In an interview with AAPG candidates, Stone states that she took a strong interest in geology in her first year of college.
According to Stone, what sparked her interest was seeing the “organization to the solid earth beneath my feet”, as well as “being in the field, and seeing the relationships,” as opposed to reading about them in textbooks.
During her studies, she worked at Superior Oil Company, and joined the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) in 1979.
[3] As of 2021, Stone is a retiree, the treasurer of the AAPG, and a member of the field trip committee at the Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists.
