    personal_statement: "Courtney\u2019s current work includes quantifying available\
      \ groundwater resources with the use of machine-learning techniques to map groundwater\
      \ quality across an aquifer in three dimensions. This work helps to identify\
      \ areas where poor water quality may limit the use of fresh water for agricultural,\
      \ industrial, and drinking water uses.Courtney also applies machine-learning\
      \ techniques to predict groundwater levels through time at ungaged locations\
      \ across an aquifer. Courtney's research has included groundwater and surface-water\
      \ interaction studies, low-flow groundwater quality sampling for age tracers,\
      \ isokinetic depth-integrated surface-water sampling, and nuclear magnetic resonance\
      \ borehole and surface imaging. She enjoys using R and Python programming in\
      \ conjunction with GIS to help answer regional water availability questions."
