   personal_statement: Pete Steeves has a long history with hydrography mapping in
     USGS, having been the original water program geospatial liaison to the National
     Geospatial Program (NGP). Pete has been involved in national and international
     hydrography mapping for decades and served as the USGS hydrography lead on the
     highly successful efforts to 'harmonize' hydrography and watershed boundaries
     with Canada along the international border. Pete attended a vast majority of
     the annual National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) Management meetings from the earliest
     years (late 90s) and provided many insights from the water program perspective.
     Pete started what would become StreamStats with Kernell Ries in the early 90s
     and has been a member of the National StreamStats Team since its inception in
     the early 2000s. One of Pete's primary roles in StreamStats early on was to
     co-develop tools to preprocess raster (elevation) and vector (hydrography, watershed
     boundaries) data, and to train others on the use of those tools. This process
     was adopted by national products over the ensuing decades.
