The latter interest has practical importance with regard to hydrocarbon exploration, and groundwater remediation efforts, leading to collaborations with civil engineers. Dunne serves as an editor of the Journal of Structural Geology, is a Fellow of the Geological Society of America (GSA), and has served as chair of the GSA Structural Geology and Tectonics Division and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Engineering Research Council.
