Professor
University of Kentucky
Dr. Jimmy Fox is an environmental water resources professor in civil engineering at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, Kentucky USA. Fox’s research team uses a mixture of experimental, numerical modeling, and field-based approaches to investigate river and watershed physics and biogeochemistry. Their team advanced knowledge of a number of sediment, fluid, and soil-related phenomena including, carbon physical mixing and mineralization in soils, interrill/rill and headcut soil erosion, fluid macroturbulence in rivers, fluid boundary layer solutions for river science, interactions of biologically active riverbeds with erosion-deposition mechanics, biogeochemistry in river boundary layers, physics of light in estuaries, sediment transport in karst caves, interaction of natural particle bridging and turbulence in riverbeds, connectivity of landscape and river processes, and the variance structure of land-use change and climate change impacting hydrologic systems. Fox teaches fluid mechanics, sediment mechanics and watershed courses. Fox is an associated editor for ASCE’s Journal of Hydraulic Engineering.
