General hydrology, including water-supply, watersheds, wetlands hydrology, natural drainage, hydrology-related accidents, surface-water/groundwater interactions, and coastal and river/stream flow dynamics.
Dr. Connors has also taught university-level courses in hydrology, hydrogeology, geophysics, and geology and served in numerous academic leadership positions. His professional affiliations include the American Institute of Hydrology, the Geological Society of America, the International Association of Hydrogeologists, the Sigma Xi Scientific Research Honor Society, and the Sigma Gamma Epsilon National Earth Sciences Honor Society.
