Leslie Smith is honoured for his original research contributions to the field of hydrogeology. His work has encompassed stochastic analysis of fluid flow and solute transport, modelling of transport processes in fractured rock, consideration of thermal effects on groundwater flow, and the assessment of the role of groundwater flow in geodynamic processes. His approach has consistently integrated diverse methodologies and treated coupled physical phenomena. He has provided a hydrogeological perspective on many of the most important geological issues of the day.
