   personal_statement: I am a biogeochemist who has been with the Survey since 1991.
     I was born and raised in Queens, NY and have lived in Wisconsin (doctorate and
     hired into the USGS), Michigan (post doc), Florida (attached to the USGS), Puerto
     Rico (attached to the USGS), Alberta (attached to the USGS), and now in Raleigh
     still with the USGS. I am trained in early diagenetic processes involving organic
     matter decomposition in bed sediments and pelagic-benthic coupling processes.
     I have extensive experience with sediment coring and porewater extraction.  I
     have an interest in using biogenic silica in lake sediments to reconstruct paleoclimate.

   - '1990 - 1991 - NOAA/Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, Ann Arbor,
     MI. Research Proposal/Topic: "An Organic Carbon Budget for Pelagic/Benthic Coupling
     in Lake Michigan".'
