   personal_statement: Kate Campbell started her career with the USGS with the volunteer
     for science program as a high school student interested in the water quality
     of Boulder Creek, CO.  After majoring in chemistry in college, she pursued a
     Ph.D. at Catech studying the biogeochemistry of arsenic redox transformations
     in reservoir sediments.  She returned to the USGS as a National Research Council
     postdoctoral fellow in 2007 in Menlo Park, CA, researching uranium bioremediation
     in shallow contaminated aquifers.  Currently, she is a research chemist in Denver,
     CO. Her research projects include understanding the biogeochemistry and mineralogy
     of metals and metalloids in mine-impacted waters, particularly in acid rock
     drainage and uranium-contaminated water.  She also studies microbial kinetics
     of iron, arsenic, and antimony oxidation in acid mine drainage, and how to incorporate
     microbial kinetics in reactive transport models for field-scale application
     as a tool for site managers.
