Simon Grant

Field Hydrologist

Research interests

I started work in the Physical Hydrology Division at CEHin 1999 after obtaining a BSc (Hons) in Physical Geography, PgDip in Environmental Studies, MSc module in Principles of Hydrology and having worked for the Scottish Environment Protection Agency North Region Hydrology Department. I am now located at CEH's Bangor research site and belong to the Water Section.

I run the long-term paired catchment experiment at Plynlimon, Mid-Wales. Our experimental focus is currently land use hydrology, estimation of evaporation losses using catchment water balance and micrometeorological methods and long-term trends. My interests focus on hydrometry and instrumentation.
