   personal_statement: Dr. Michelle A. Walvoord is a hydrogeologist whose current
     research focuses on understanding hydrologic response to climate change and
     wildfire disturbance. With expertise in non-isothermal, multiphase subsurface
     flow and transport, she has led a variety of process-based vadose zone and groundwater
     studies in systems ranging from mid-latitude deserts to high-latitude boreal
     forests. Her research relies on a blend of field, statistical, and physics-based
     modeling approaches and typically intersects with multiple disciplines including
     biogeochemistry, ecology, and geophysics.
