Speakers
Dr. Gordon McCurry
Hydrologist at McCurry Hydrology LLCDr. Gordon McCurry has more than 35 years of experience in hydrology, including the investigation, analysis and modeling of aquifer systems, and assessments of hydrologic impacts. His areas of expertise include the quantitative analyses of flow and solute transport, stream/aquifer interactions, climate change, regulatory permitting, and aquifer remediation. He has been involved with modeling groundwater flow and solute transport since the 1980s. In addition to his consulting career, Dr. McCurry has taught courses on groundwater modeling and hydrogeology since the early 1990s at several universities and to state and federal regulatory agencies.
