   personal_statement: Since 1993, he has been involved in the mapping, analysis,
     and modeling of land-use and land-cover within USGS.  Terry was one of the team
     members that helped develop the first 1992 National Land Cover Database (1992)
     and was also one of the original founders of the USGS Land Cover Trends project.  Using
     the experience gained from mapping and analyzing current and historical land-use
     change, Terry led the development of the FORE-SCE (FOREcasting SCEnarios of
     land-use change) modeling framework, which has been used to produce scenario-based
     land-use and land-cover projections for the conterminous United States at high
     spatial and thematic resolution.  Terry continues to lead land-cover modeling
     projects at USGS EROS, using a new, parcel-based modeling framework that models
     landscape change with an unprecedented combination of high spatial resolution,
     high thematic resolution, broad geographic coverage, representation of both
     anthropogenic land use and natural land cover change, and use of true land management
     and ownership boundaries.Current responsibilities also include the role as Land
     Resources Mission Area (LRMA) representative for the USGS EarthMAP initiative.
     In that role, Terry serves on an interdisciplinary team of USGS researchers
     and managers, helping to coordinate integrated data and science activities related
     to EarthMAP.  He also plays a lead role in coordinating the LRMA collaboration
     with the Water Mission Area.More information on the work of his land-cover modeling
     group at USGS EROS may be found at:https://landcover-modeling.cr.usgs.gov/
