Leading University scientist publishes magical images of water
A leading Lancaster University hydrologist has published a book of his photographs ‘capturing the wonderful natural dynamics of water’ to raise funds for Water Aid.
Professor Professor Beven FRS, from the Lancaster Environment Centre, is one of the world’s most highly cited hydrologist who specialises in measuring and modelling how water moves through the landscape. He is an expert in the uncertainties involved in predicting anything from flooding and rainfall run-off to water quality and the movement of sediment. But for Professor Beven, water is not just a scientific obsession, he is also fascinated by photographing the interplay of water, movement and light and the effects of water in carving and shaping the landscape.
