   personal_statement: "Cara Peterman is a fluvial geomorphologist / hydrologist\
     \ with the U.S. Geological Survey, Kansas Water Science Center in Lawrence,\
     \ Kansas. As a geomorphologist she has a wide range of fluvial geomorphological\
     \ interests with an emphasis on understanding the effects that natural and or\
     \ human-induced perturbations have on water-resources and soils. Understanding\
     \ geomorphic and palaeohydrological processes, sediment dynamics of rivers as\
     \ they relate to land cover land use changes, and habitat degradation are vital\
     \ for any effective remediation and or mitigation efforts.Areas of Interest\xB7\
