   personal_statement: Her research focus is on climate change and soil moisture
     as key processes of watershed and regional-scale hydrologic modeling. Other
     research interests include geospatial analysis and sediment transport. She has
     also performed extensive laboratory work determining physical properties of
     soil samples and sediment cores. Current research includes refining and applying
     the Basin Characterization Model (BCM), and the development of an Hydrologic
     Simulation Program - FORTRAN (HSPF) model of the Sacramento River basin to determine
     future sediment supply to the Bay-Delta as part of the Computational Assessments
     of Scenarios of Change for the Delta Ecosystem (CASCaDE) project. A key goal
     of all her research is to determine a holistic understanding of watershed hydrologic
     processes at different spatial scales.
