   personal_statement: "Brenda Densmore (Woodward) has worked as a hydrologist for\
     \ the USGS Nebraska Water Science Center since 2003 and previously as a student\
     \ trainee starting in 2001. She has an undergraduate degree in fisheries and\
     \ wildlife and a graduate degree in Natural Resources with emphasis in Aquatic\
     \ Ecology, both from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.  She has participated\
     \ in and lead water-quality and biological monitoring programs as part of the\
     \ USGS National Water-Quality Assessment Program, EPA\u2019s Environmental Monitoring\
     \ and Assessment program, and EPA\u2019s National Rivers and Streams Assessment.\
     \  Brenda has taken the lead on GPS surveying for the Nebraska Water Science\
     \ Center and has collected and worked with both aerial and tripod-mounted LiDAR.\
     \  Since early 2007 Brenda has lead several Missouri River surveying projects,\
     \ which incorporate bathymetric surveying.  Surveys prior to 2008 were completed\
     \ using singlebeam echosounding equipment along with GPS and an Acoustic Doppler\
     \ Current Profiler to measure depth, position, water-surface elevation, and\
     \ velocity.  Recently, Brenda and other scientists at the USGS have used a multibeam\
     \ echosounder to survey the river bed and structures of the Missouri River."
