Lev S. Kuchment has held the position of Head of the Laboratory of the Hydrological Cycle at the Water Problems Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, since 1977. Professor Kuchment is the author of 170scientific publications, including seven books. He is an expert in the modeling of hydrological processes and application of these models in hydrological forecasting and design. His research interests have included: unsteady flow in river channels, snow cover formation; heat and moisture transfer in soil; evapotranspiration; overland, subsurface and groundwater flow; interaction of surface water and groundwater; water quality formation; the hydrological cycle as a whole. He has also dealt with estimation of human induced changes of the hydrological cycle and possible hydrological impacts of global climate change. In recent years, his main research fields are risk assessment of catastrophic floods
