Bradford Wilcox

Bradford Wilcox, Ph.D. is a professor in the Texas A&M Ecology and Conservation Biology Department. Wilcox teaches graduate and undergraduate students, while actively advising undergraduate researchers. His research and teaching focus is at the interface of ecology and hydrology – an emerging new discipline called ecohydrology. Wilcox’s interests include understanding how climate affects landscape change and how invasive plants and land degradation may be altering the water cycle. Much of his work has been in semi-arid rangelands of the United States, but he works in other landscapes as well, including wetlands in the Texas Coast and high elevation grasslands in the Andes. Wilcox and his students focus on issues such as how woody plants and their management on rangelands may affect stream flows and groundwater recharge, how invasive shrubs in riparian areas are altering river flows and the hydrological functioning of coastal wetlands.
