Gregg Davidson

Gregg Davidson is a Professor of Geology and Geological Engineering at the University of Mississippi. His research focuses on hydroecology of cypress wetlands, groundwater-surface water interactions, and the intersection of science and Christian faith. He holds a B.S. in Geology from Wheaton College (1985), and M.S. and Ph.D. in Hydrology from the University of Arizona (1989, 1995).

His expertise includes surface-groundwater interaction, wetland hydroecology, isotope hydrology, and managed aquifer recharge. Notable research topics include oxbow lakes as aquifer recharge sources, levee seepage dynamics, and geochemical tracing of groundwater flow. He also engages in science outreach addressing science-religion dialogue and ethics in scientific communication.

Davidson has contributed to studies on sedimentation in flood-control reservoirs, heavy metal mobility in wetlands, and the long-term fate of contaminants. His work bridges environmental hydrology with societal impacts, including post-pandemic education trends and unintended consequences of diversity initiatives.

He is affiliated with the Department of Geology and Geological Engineering, contributing to programs like the B.S. in Geology and M.S./Ph.D. in Engineering Science. His research emphasizes practical applications in water resource management and ecological sustainability.
