   personal_statement: 'Dr. Kennen currently conducts and coordinates a highly diverse
     range of research to address the informational needs of the USGS, its partners,
     state agencies and NGOs. His research is centered on three primary areas: 1)
     evaluating the effects of hydrologic modification on stream assemblages, 2)
     assessing the effects of anthropogenic activities on aquatic ecosystem structure
     and function and 3) modeling flow alteration-ecology response relations. He
     is a co-developer of the USGS Hydroecological Integrity Assessment (HIT) Process
     which implements a set of tools for setting environmental-flow standards and
     comparing past and proposed streamflow alterations. Other ongoing research efforts
     include assessing the effects of water-supply development on aquatic assemblages,
     modeling the responses of stream macroinvertebrate and fish assemblages to land
     use changes, evaluating methods to support TMDL processes using hydrologic modification
     as a surrogate for aquatic life impairment, assessing ecological trends, and
     evaluating the effects of climate change on hydrological and ecological response.
     Dr. Kennen also represents the U.S. Geological Survey on multi-agency technical
     advisory committees addressing complex ecological, hydrological, water-quality,
     management, and natural resource issues and currently serves on the New Jersey
     Science Advisory Board (Ecological Processes Committee) and the Advisory Council
     for the New Jersey Water Resources Research Institute.'
