   personal_statement: He received a Masters in Geography from Northern Arizona University
     and has over 25 years of professional experience in surveying, cartography and
     geographic information systems (GIS). Terry began his career as a land surveyor
     in Phoenix, Arizona. During his final year of undergraduate education at Northern
     Arizona University, he was awarded a working internship as a cartographer at
     the National Geographic Society from a national competition. Later he was employed
     as a cartographer for the Smithsonian Institution, Museum of Natural History.
     For more than 20 years he has worked exclusively with GIS to analyze complex
     geographic problems or model spatial relationships. His research interests include
     geography of the Colorado Plateau, ecological principles that influence the
     temporal and spatial distribution of wildlife and vegetation, applied spatial
     statistics and modeling in GIS, and cartography as an art form.Terry Arundel
     serves as a USGS Science Data Coordinator and Geographer to provide leadership
     in geography and geospatial information science and technology (GIS). He is
     responsible for leadership, management, development, coordination, operation,
     assuring conformance with agency standards, and informal training within the
     Center's Geospatial Technology program.  He coordinates a cohesive, efficient,
     anticipatory, and contemporary GIS program in support of natural resource and
     biological research projects conducted within the Center. This entails program
     leadership, coordination and conducting project-specific work to support the
     needs of Center scientists. To accomplish this goal he works closely with Center
     scientists in all locations, communication and outreach staff, research station
     and project-specific GIS specialists/spatial analysts, and USGS contacts in
     other Centers, the Western Regional Office, the Enterprise GIS (EGIS) and Enterprise
     Applications Center, and the USGS National Center. Finally, Terry provides expert
     knowledge in geospatial science and technology (GST) methodologies and techniques,
     including Web-based access and delivery, to other federal, state, and local
     agencies, and private sector firms.
