Dr. McGuire’s research program at Virginia Tech focuses on hydrological processes that affect the routing, storage, and age of water contributing to the generation of streamflow. He is interested in how pathways of water influence biogeochemical cycling and how land use and environmental change effect watershed processes and water quality. He and his group of collaborators are examining the interacting roles of soil development, weathering, and water flow to understand how forest ecosystems respond to a changing environment driven by air pollution, land management, and climate variability.
Dr. McGuire is associate director of the Virginia Water Resources Research Center and a professor in the Department of Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation at Virginia Tech. At Virginia Tech, Dr. McGuire teaches undergraduate courses in Principles of Watershed Hydrology and Forest Soil and Watershed Management. At the graduate level, he teaches Watershed Hydrology. Dr. McGuire coordinates the cross-college Watershed Management graduate certificate and Watershed Management undergraduate minor.
The GCC's affiliated faculty come from dozens of disciplines, spanning more than 20 academic units on campus.
Our diversity is our greatest asset.
