   personal_statement: Drew's research interests broadly span aquatic ecology including
     fish and invertebrates in both lakes and rivers. His research examines coupled
     human-natural systems such as artificial and regulated river systems and currently
     focuses on how drought, water storage, and reservoir operations impact biological
     invasions in the Colorado River Basin. His models quantify invasion risk and
     inform smallmouth bass management efforts in the Grand Canyon.
