Dr. Kevin Bladon
Who I Am
I joined Oregon State University in 2014 working on issues related to land use and natural disturbance impacts on hydrology, water quality, and aquatic ecosystem health at the hillslope, stream reach, and small catchment scale.
My goals are to: build effective collaborations across Oregon, North America, and internationally; train the next generation of research leaders; provide an atmosphere of respect and learning; engage the public and stakeholders, and; develop leading edge, novel research to solve applied problems.
