RESEARCH INTERESTS:

J.M. Sheridan's research interests relate primarily to the hydrology of humid-region, low-gradient watersheds, such as those of the Gulf-Atlantic Coastal Plain of the southeastern US. His research is aimed at developing conceptual understanding of those factors that control the hydrologic and environmental quality response characteristics of humid-region, agricultural watersheds whose responses are highly influenced by storage in extensive, heavily-vegetated, riparian zones.
