Lee E. Brown is Professor of Aquatic Science at the University of Leeds, and Associate director of the water@leeds research centre. He has >25 years’ experience researching the ecology and functioning of aquatic ecosystems (mainly rivers, occasionally ponds, sometimes mesocosms), and almost 40 years’ experience sitting on the banks of rivers or lakes observing aquatic life whilst trying to catch fish! His research focuses on various themes, including the effects of climate change on mountain rivers around the world, stressors such as flow modification due to reservoirs, and land-use change/catchment restoration. Focal biological groups have mainly been invertebrates, fish and algae and recently he has been involved in projects studying bacteria and fungi in microbial biofilms. He has been an investigator on numerous grants, most recently as leader of the 23 partner EU Euro-FLOW training network, plus the EU WaterLANDS project, several UK NERC grants including the ongoing Drivers and Repercussions of UK Insect Decline (DRUID) project, and he received the 2022 Ralph Brown Award from the UK Royal Geographical Society. He has published >110 papers (Google scholar h-index: 55), held leadership roles with the Freshwater Biological Association and British Ecological Society Aquatic Group, and served as a contributing author for the 2013 UK National Ecosystem Assessment, the 2013 BES Impact of Extreme Events on Freshwaters report, and the 2019 IPCC SROCC report.
