Kevin is a professor of hydrology at Virginia Tech in the Department of Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation and is based in the Virginia Water Resources Research Center. Kevin is also the director of the Center. His research integrates watershed hydrology, forest ecosystem water dynamics, and biogeochemical processes to understand how runoff generation, groundwater–surface water interactions, and headwater streams regulate water quality and quantity. Kevin teaches classes in watershed hydrology, hillslope hydrology, and forest soil and watershed management. Kevin is one of the coordinators of the water resources B.S. program at Virginia Tech. He is also the coordinator of two cross-college programs in Watershed Management; one is an undergraduate minor and the other is a graduate certificate.
