Dr. Hession has been a member of the Virginia Tech faculty since in 2005. He currently conducts research on understanding the effects of riparian (streamside) vegetation on stream channel geometry and aquatic habitat conditions; quantifying stream bank erosion contributions to watershed-scale sediments and nutrients; and determining the links between channel morphology (physical condition) and aquatic ecosystem health.

He then spent four years at the Patrick Center for Environmental Research, Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as the Biosystems Engineering Section Leader and Assistant Curator. In 1999, he joined the Civil and Environmental Engineering faculty at the University of Vermont to initiate a program in ecological engineering. While there, he established outstanding research and teaching programs in collaboration with interdisciplinary groups of scientists and engineers.

Dr. Hession has a Ph.D. in Biological Systems Engineering from Oklahoma State University and an M.S. and a B.S. in Agricultural Engineering from Virginia Tech. He worked as an assistant scientist for USDA/ARS in Morris, Minnesota, and as Senior Environmental Engineer and NPS Modeling Coordinator with the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation in Richmond prior to earning his Ph.D.
