Dr. James J. Connors is a certified Professional Hydrologist and a licensed Professional Geoscientist. For more than 39 years, he has worked on projects and legal cases involving groundwater, surface water, stormwater runoff, and environmental contamination. His career has included extensive bodies of work as an award-winning academic, a private-sector consultant, and a testifying and consulting expert witness.
Since the mid-1980s, Dr. Connors has performed environmental and hydrological consulting projects across the U.S.. He has taught university-level hydrology, hydrogeology, geophysics, and geology courses and has been retained as an expert witness in more than 70 legal cases (in U.S. state and federal courts, and abroad).
Dr. Connors’ current practice focuses on:
Groundwater, soil, sediment, and surface-water contamination, including PFAS, PCBs, nutrients, radiation, metals, BTEX, and other contaminants;
Stormwater runoff and associated flooding, erosion, sediment transport, and sediment deposition, including construction site ESC (erosion and sediment control) and stormwater flow caused by development and land-use changes; and
General hydrology, including water-supply, watersheds, wetlands hydrology, natural drainage, hydrology-related accidents, and coastal and river/stream flow dynamics.
