   personal_statement: Dr. Mikael Hiestand is a Mendenhall Fellow and research geographer
     with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation and Science
     (EROS) Center and the University of California, Santa Barbara Climate Hazard
     Center. Mikael completed his M.S. and Ph.D. Geography and Climate Science at
     The Pennsylvania State University. His dissertation work focused on how differences
     in moisture fluxes from midwestern croplands and forests interact with synoptic
     patterns to influence spatial patterns in convective cloud systems. Mikael is
     currently working on using remotely sensed vegetation data for enhanced drought
     monitoring and evapotranspiration prediction.
