   intro_statements:
   - I am a fish biologist with the WFRC Columbia River Research Laboratory. I joined
     the USGS in 2000, and my research has focused on Pacific salmon and dams in
     the Pacific Northwest. My expertise includes the use of imaging sonar systems
     to monitor abundances and behaviors of fish near collection and passage sites,
     as well as passage, migration, and survival of salmonids using acoustic telemetry.

   personal_statement: Research Interests:My research interests include the evaluation
     of dam passage and survival, development of fish passage options at high-head
     dams, reintroduction of salmon and steelhead to areas blocked by dams, and predation
     and behavioral studies near entrances to fish collection structures.  I am currently
     working on studies that evaluate the effects of tidal cycles on juvenile salmon
     and native fish survival, assessments of migration and survival of juvenile
     salmon, and developing methods to automate imaging sonar data processing.
