   personal_statement: I am a geomorphologist interested in river systems. I work
     with Amy East, Jon Warrick, and Joel Sankey to investigate patterns in post-wildfire
     sediment mobilization over recent decades in California in the context of shifting
     hydroclimate and an intensifying fire regime. This work has implications for
     downstream water resources, water quality, aquatic ecosystems, and coastal change.
