This is Duncan Reed: independent consulting hydrologist and author of Letters in applied hydrology.

My main areas of expertise are:

• Flood risk estimation

• Drought severity assessment

• Collective risk problems — a special research area of relevance to reinsurers, regulators and record-breakers

• Exploratory data analysis and problem-solving in applied hydrology — a bit of a catch-all

• Technical communication — training, technical writing, reviewing ...

with a client list including: Arup, Atkins Water, Aviva, Barratt Homes, Bureau Veritas, Capita Symonds (now Capita), Faber Maunsell (now Aecom), Halcrow (now CH2M), HR Wallingford, Imperial College, JBA Consulting, Menston Action Group, Newcastle University, OPW, Peter Brett Associates, Reading University, RPS and United Utilities.

Whilst developing and interpreting historical flood data remains a specialism, drought severity assessment is my current area of R & D.
