   personal_statement: "Joseph Kennedy initially started working for the USGS at\
     \ the Pacific Islands Water Science Center in 2016 immediately after receiving\
     \ his M.S. degree from the Department of Geology and Geophysics (now Earth Sciences)\
     \ at the University of Hawai\u02BBi at M\u0101noa. His graduate research was\
     \ the first to use small unmanned aerial vehicles to collect time-series thermal\
     \ imagery of coastal groundwater discharge tidal dynamics. The time-series imagery\
     \ was coupled with simultaneous geochemical tracer analysis to determine groundwater\
     \ discharge rates and nutrient flux to the coastal zones of Maui. In February\
     \ of 2020 he transferred to the Oregon Water Science Center to expand his experience\
     \ as a hydrologist. His research investigations range from storm-water sampling\
     \ for pesticide prevalence, to quantifying the impacts of non-native plant species\
     \ on freshwater availability in Hawai\u02BBi, to using computer programming\
     \ for analyzing a variety of groundwater, surface water, climate, and remote\
     \ sensing datasets to assess water-resource issues."
