   personal_statement: 'I began working for the U.S. Geological Survey in 1997. One
     of my primary research interests is long-term monitoring and trend analyses.
     This research involves collecting and analyzing long-term monitoring data to
     determine the effects of climate and land use change on water quality, water
     quantity and soil chemistry in minimally disturbed watersheds across the United
     States. I also conduct watershed research in the Catskill Mountains of New York
     which is the primary source of drinking water for New York City. My work in
     the Catskills during the last 2 decades has included the effects of agricultural
     best management practices on stream water quality, nutrient cycling, and sediment
     transport. Recently I have become involved in evaluating the effectiveness of
     green infrastructure in Buffalo, NY as part of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.EducationPh.D.,
