   personal_statement: 'My main study areas are in the central and western USA (Mississippi
     Valley, Great Plains, Rocky Mountains, desert Southwest, Pacific Coast and Alaska),
     but I have also worked in the Caribbean, Spain and Israel.  My main interests
     are in origin and paleoclimatic significance of dune fields, stratigraphy and
     paleopedology of loess, effects of long-range-transported dust on soils, the
     atmosphere, oceans and ecosystems, and sea level history.Education:University
