   personal_statement: John is a marine micropaleontologist (diatoms) with expertise
     in and biostratigraphy and paleoceanography. His biostratigraphic expertise
     extends from the Late Cretaceous to the Holocene, with an emphasis on the North
     Pacific, eastern equatorial Pacific, and Southern Ocean. John's paleoclimate
     expertise is mostly on the Holocene of the North Pacific, ranging from the Gulf
     of California to the Gulf of Alaska. As an Emeritus Research Geologist, his
     research is directed toward developing and comparing Holocene sea surface temperature
     records in these eastern North Pacific regions with hydroclimate records in
     western North America and suggesting links.
