   personal_statement: Jessica's broad research interests center on the analysis
     of landscape change using remote sensing data.  Past projects have included
     tracking the vegetative trajectories of areas recovering from fire events, both
     in the semi-arid, high-elevation forests of Arizona and the boreal forests of
     Alaska.  Additional recent work includes examining surface inundation patterns
     via Landsat and MODIS imagery as part of the PLACE project (Patterns in the
     Landscape - Analyses of Cause and Effect).
