   personal_statement: "Prior to joining USGS, Krista managed and participated in\
     \ several large interdisciplinary research projects integrating aquatic ecology,\
     \ geomorphology, and hydrology in US rivers. Her study systems included: lower\
     \ Columbia River estuary with the Lower Columbia River Estuary Partnership,\
     \ Umatilla River in northeastern Oregon with Eco-metrics, Inc. (now Geoffrey\
     \ Poole's Fluvial Landscape Lab at Montana State University), and trout streams\
     \ in northeast Georgia with the Odum School of Ecology and River Basin Center\
     \ at the University of Georgia.Ongoing projectsConceptual Framework for Ranking\
     \ Site-Scale Stressors in the Tualatin River BasinThe Tualatin River basin has\
     \ a large and growing urban population, which in some ways may influence (or\
     \ stress) the water quality, geomorphology, habitat, and biological communities\
     \ of the Tualatin River and its tributaries. As part of its \u201CPast, Present,\
     \ and Future Study\u201D with Clean Water Services, USGS is assessing ecosystem\
     \ stressors in the Tualatin River basin and developing a framework for prioritizing\
     \ future data collection, research, and management actions based on the magnitude\
     \ of ecosystem stressors at the site-scale.Estuary Impact Assessment for the\
     \ Columbia River TreatyThe treaty between the United States and Canada for flood\
     \ protection and power generation on the Columbia River contains provisions\
     \ that will change its implementation starting in 2024. Ongoing efforts are\
     \ assessing post-2024 impacts on hydropower, flood control, and ecosystem function.\
     \ Krista is coordinating the ecosystem analyses for the Columbia River below\
     \ Bonneville Dam (or the Columbia River estuary). This project is in collaboration\
     \ with the US Corps of Engineers, Bonneville Power Administration, the Center\
     \ for Coastal Margin Observation and Prediction, Deltares, USGS Pacific Marine\
     \ Division, and treaty sovereigns including the Columbia River Intertribal Fish\
     \ Commission, Cowlitz Tribe, and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.\

     \ Controls on Current and Future Pacific Lamprey HabitatInternally funded by\
     \ USGS, the geomorphology team at the ORWSC is teaming up with fishery biologists\
     \ from FRESC to explore the relationships between geomorphology and Pacific\
     \ Lamprey habitat in the Oregon Coast Range. More details coming soon!Physcial\
     \ HAbitat Monitoring (PHAM) for Reach Scale Restoration ProjectsOrganizations\
     \ in the Columbia River basin are assembling protocols for habitat data collection.\
     \ These efforts typically do not include protocols that are scalable by project\
     \ size and time considerations or are applicable to projects that"
