NDSEG advice - torn between two specialization areas

[Robin Goodfellow]

For the NDSEG fellowship, I have read that it's important to choose a specialization that's related to one or more areas that the DoD funds.  That's fine, but what if my proposed research uses one specialization area (Remote Sensing and Imaging Physics) to study another (Arctic and Global Prediction)?*

Does it make the most sense to pick the one that I feel is more relevant (e.g. "Arctic and Global Prediction"), put them both as specialization (e.g. "Remote Sensing and Imaging Physics, Arctic and Global Prediction"), or combine them in a shortened way (e.g. "Remote Sensing of the Arctic Environment")?  I'm leaning towards the third option, but I'm wondering what other people think and just how specific the specializations are supposed to be.

I know I'm overthinking this, but any help/advice would be appreciated!

 

*Specialization areas changed slightly to maintain anonymity, but these work fine as an example.

I was going way more broad with the specialization. I currently have my specialization down as "neuroengineering."

 

I'm having more trouble figuring out what discipline to categorize under. It's definitely under the purview of the scholarship, but I'm not sure whether to classify it under Biosciences; Cognitive, Neural, and Behavioral Processes; or Computer and Computational Sciences. I want to do stuff with biomimetic robotic control and robotic prosthetic control.
