Dr. Gentry’s research program is focused on the evaluation of groundwater hydrologic interfaces. The implementation of this research agenda has involved the evaluation of highly localized systems and more broad scale watershed processes. This research direction has allowed Randy to participate with and develop strong multi-disciplinary teams.
