   intro_statements:
   - Hi, I'm Joe Duris. I'm interested in trace organic compounds in water, understanding
     their fate and transport, and their interactions with stream and aquifer ecosystems.
     Have any questions, feel free to contact me.

   personal_statement: Throughout my time at the USGS I have been actively involved
     in many facets of water-quality monitoring and research. I have worked with
     several national and regional USGS programs including the Toxics Substances
     Hydrology program (Toxics), the National Water Quality Assessment (NAWQA), the
     Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI), and most recently the Next Generation
     Water Observing System (NGWOS) Program in the Delaware River Basin. Most of
     my work throughout my career has focused on evaluating the occurrence, fate,
     and transport of fecally-derived pathogens and their relation to trace organic
     compounds (PFAS, wastewater compounds, pharmaceuticals, hormones, pesticides).
     In addition, I have worked on issues of nutrient enrichment and Harmful Algal
     Blooms (HABs) in inland lakes and the Great Lakes, and on monitoring nutrient
     and sediment flux using surrogate regression models.Current ResearchEvaluation
     of the distribution, fate, transport, and mass-balance of Per-and Polyfluorinated
     Alkyl Substances (PFAS) at multiple spatial scales and refining and testing
     field techniques for proper sampling of PFAS in surface waterEvaluation of suspended
     sediment and nutrient flux in real-time using surrogate regression models by
     rating in-stream measurements with parameters of interestExploring the connection
     between blending untreated human sewage and acid mine drainage on the microbial
     ecology ofEscherichia coli(E. coli) in streamsData management, data visualization,
     and evaluating new monitoring technologies
