   personal_statement: "Dr. Harlan\u2019s research focuses on remote sensing of inland\
     \ waters, with a particular interest in high latitude rivers. Dr. Harlan is\
     \ interested in applying data from ongoing and upcoming satellite missions (such\
     \ as the Surface Water Ocean Topography satellite mission; SWOT) to estimate\
     \ river flows in ungaged basins, assess changes in surface water in high latitude\
     \ lakes and rivers, and compare and evaluate the accuracy of satellite-derived\
     \ stage and streamflow to field data and modeled data. Currently, she is involved\
     \ in the Satellite-based Remote Sensing of River Discharge Project to expand\
     \ streamflow monitoring in Alaska"
