   personal_statement: "Hongqing Wang's expertise is ecosystem modeling coupled with\
     \ field observation, application of remote sensing, GIS, GPS and spatial statistics.\
     \ His current research areas include integrated modeling, monitoring and detecting\
     \ changes in hydrodynamics, sediment transport, morphology, water quality, landscape,\
     \ surface elevation, vegetation (composition/distribution and productivity),\
     \ biological population dynamics (e.g., oysters), and soil biogeochemistry (C,\
     \ N, P, S)  in wetland ecosystems due to natural disturbances (e.g., climate\
     \ change, land subsidence, storms) and human activities (e.g., land use, water\
     \ management, ecosystem restoration). Wang is one of the developers of Wetland\
     \ Morphology Model for Louisiana's 2012 Coastal Master Plan for coastal Louisiana\
     \ ecosystem restoration, sponsored by State of Louisiana's Coastal Protection\
     \ and Restoration Authority. He has also been involved in monitoring programs\
     \ such as Coastwide Reference Monitoring System and Louisiana Coastal Area program\
     \ for adaptive management. He is currently an Associate Editor for Wetlands.BACKGROUNDPrevious\
