   personal_statement: "David Weary earned a BS degree in geology from George Mason\
     \ Univ. in 1982; MS in geology from Virginia Tech in 1988. Started at the USGS\
     \ in 1988 as a PST for the Paleontology and Stratigraphy Branch, specializing\
     \ in conodont sample processing and biostratigraphy. In 1996 David joined the\
     \ Eastern Earth Surface Processes Team. Since 1998 David has worked as a geologic\
     \ mapper, specializing in geohydrologic framework studies in karstic rocks.\
     \ Field areas included: Ozarks of southern MO; Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands;\
     \ and the Shenandoah Valley area of VA and WV. David has also worked in the\
     \ southern Great Basin and the Black Hills. Since 2003 David has served as a\
     \ research geologist and Project Chief of the KARST Project out of the Eastern\
     \ Geology and Paleoclimate Science Center, Reston, VA. David also represented\
     \ the USGS on the Board of directors of the National Cave and Karst Research\
     \ Institute From 2009 to 2018.Professional Studies/ExperiencePhysical Science\
     \ Technician:USGS Paleontology & Stratigraphy Branch (1988 \u2013 1997). PST.\
     \ Conodont biostratigraphic and thermal alteration research. Worked for Anita\
     \ Harris and John Repetski.Associate Instructor:Paleontology and Geology, Northern\
     \ Virginia Community College (1989 \u2013 1991).Project Geologist:Midcontinent\
     \ Karst Systems and Geologic Mapping (1997 - 2003) geologic mapping and hydrogeologic\
     \ studies in the area of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways park (NPS), Missouri.\
     \ Developed early digital mapping and GIS/GPS techniques.Task 1, Geologic mapping\
     \ in VA and WV:Theprimary goal is to produce 1:24,000 & 1:100,000 scale geologic\
     \ maps of selected areas in the Shenandoah Valley of VA and WV. Work in cooperation\
     \ with the VA and WV, USGS WSC\u2019s and with local and state governments to\
     \ develop a better understanding of the role of the bedrock geology in guiding\
     \ groundwater flow characteristics.Task 2, U.S. National Karst Map:Our goal\
     \ is to produce a new, GIS-based national karst map. This map will serve both\
     \ as a small-scale graphic representation of the extent of karstic rocks in\
     \ the United States (National Atlas) and as GIS data that will be linked to\
     \ more detailed, site-specific databases. This work involves interaction with\
     \ state geological surveys, the National Cave and Karst Research Institute (NCKRI),\
     \ and karst experts from academia and the National Speleological Society.Task\
     \ 3, Geologic mapping in the Ozarks of MO:geologic mapping in areas of Paleozoic\
     \ carbonate and clastic rocks and Mesoproterozoic volcanic rocks at scales of\
     \ 1:24,000 and 1:100,000. Investigation of geologic controls on groundwater\
     \ flow, karstification, and speleogenesis in the Ozark Aquifer. This work addresses\
     \ two priority needs:  1) Developing a hydrogeologic framework for the St. Fraincois\
     \ and Ozark aquifers in southern MO and potential impacts on groundwater quality\
     \ by proposed base-metal mining in the Mark Twain National Fo"
