معرفی
Professor Sim Reaney is a leading catchment hydrologist at Durham University, specializing in flood hazards and diffuse pollution across temperate, tropical, and mountainous environments. His research integrates simulation modeling with field measurements to advance understanding of hydrological connectivity and its role in environmental management.
- Professor in the Department of Geography
- Co-Director, Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience (2025–present)
His work focuses on:
- Hydrological processes in diverse climates
- Development of the SCIMAP diffuse pollution risk mapping toolset
- CRUM3 catchment hydrological model applications
- Climate change impacts on water quality and flood risk
- Nature-based solutions for flood mitigation
Recent publications highlight applications in Java (Indonesia), Nepal, and the UK, with emphasis on tropical hydrology, high-resolution microbial pollution analysis, and climate-flood interactions. His modeling approaches have informed decision-making for Defra, Environment Agency, and international stakeholders.
Scientific awards include:
- RCUK Post-Doctoral Research Fellow (2007–2012)
- Multiple grants from NERC, UK Space Agency, and GCRF
Current supervision includes PhD projects on flood risk reduction in Nepal, Java, and water quality modeling in the UK.
