   personal_statement: "Dr. Leith is the former Senior Science Advisor for Earthquake\
     \ and Geologic Hazards at the U. S. Geological Survey. Before retiring in 2019,\
     \ he oversaw the Earthquake Hazards, Geomagnetism and Global Seismographic Network\
     \ Programs. Bill joined the USGS in 1986, after receiving a doctoral degree\
     \ in seismology and geology from Columbia University, and a bachelor\u2019s\
     \ degree from the University of California at Berkeley. He served USGS as Chief\
     \ of the USGS Special Geologic Studies Group from 1990-2001, as Senior Technical\
     \ Advisor to the Assistant Secretary of State for Verification and Compliance\
     \ from 2001-2003, as the Coordinator of the Advanced National Seismic System\
     \ from 2003-2012, and as USGS Acting Associate Director in 2010-2011 and 2017.\
     \ Bill has over 100 publications in the areas of seismology, geology, engineering\
     \ geology, tectonics, and the applications of these subjects to earthquake safety,\
     \ response and engineering, as well as to nuclear weapons testing and test monitoring,\
     \ treaty verification and compliance.Career Experience:2012-2019: Senior Advisor\
     \ for Earthquake and Geologic Hazards of the U. S. Geological Survey, Reston,\
     \ Virginia.2003-2012: Associate Program Coordinator for Earthquake Hazards,\

     \ Geologist, Geologic Division, Military Geology Project, U.S. Geological Survey.\
     \ Research on the geology and geophysics of foreign countries, primarily the\
     \ former Soviet Union, and nuclear test sites and other critical military facilities,\
     \ worldwide. Analyzed data from published reports on the geology, hydrology,\
     \ and physical properties of test site areas; interpreted satellite images in\
     \ light of this information; proposed and evaluated analogues for such areas.1984\
     \ - 1989: Associate Research Scientist; Adjunct Associate Research Scientist,\
     \ Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory, Columbia University. Collaborated on\
     \ the development of a program of field research on the geology, seismicity,\
     \ and tectonics of sites in Soviet Central Asia, working in cooperation with\
     \ both American and foreign scientists to analyze seismological and geological\
     \ data.1984 - 1984: Visiting Lecturer; Department of Geology, University of\
