Biography:

Philippe Vidon, Ph.D. is a watershed hydrologist, contaminant hydrologist, and biogeochemist. Born in France in 1973, Dr. Vidon obtained a BSc in Mathematics and Physics ( uid mechanics, thermodynamics) from Pierre et Marie Curie University in Paris, France in 1995, and a Master in Agronomy from the National Institute of Agronomy in Paris, France in 1997. After working for two years as a research associate at the Cemagref (National Institute of Research and Engineering in Agriculture and Environment) (France), Dr. Vidon obtained a Ph.D. in Geography (Hydrology and
Biogeochemistry) in 2004 from York University in Toronto, ON, Canada. From 2004 to 2010, Dr. Vidon was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geology (now Earth Sciences) at Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). Since 2010, Dr. Vidon has been Associate Professor (2010-2015), Professor (2015-present) and Empire Innovation Faculty in the Department of Forest and Natural Resources Management at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF), and holds adjunct appointments in the Department of Geology at Syracuse University, and in the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
Dr. Vidon’s research focuses on the fate and transport of environmental contaminants (e.g. nitrogen, phosphorus, carbon, mercury, methane, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, pesticides) in hydrological systems (surface and subsurface) and at the soil-atmosphere interface. Dr. Vidon uses this knowledge to assess the impact of climate change and various land use activities on ecosystem health and water quality, and determine how to best manage water quality and water quantity in watersheds under a variety of stressors.
Since 2004, Dr. Vidon has received either as principal investigator or co- principal investigator more than $3.1 million in funding from the US Environmental Protection Agency, the National Science Foundation, the US Department of Agriculture, or the US Geological Survey, among other funding sources. Dr. Vidon is widely published and has presented his work on many occasions at meetings of the American Geophysical Union, the Geological Society of America, the Soil Science Society of America and the American Water Resources Association.
