   personal_statement: I specialize in deciphering complex stratigraphic sequences,
     reconstructing paleoenvironmental conditions, and studying how springs and other
     groundwater dependent ecosystems responded to climate change in the recent geologic
     past. My research takes me all over the deserts of the southwest to places like
     Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument, Death Valley National Park, White
     Sands National Park, Joshua Tree National Park, and Channel Islands National
     Park.
