About

I am working on both Glacial Hydrometeorology and Hydrometeorological Hazards, which explore the relationship between glaciers, climate, water resources, and associated risks. With glaciers rapidly retreating due to climate change, hazards such as floods and landslides pose increasing threats. Along with this, studying Glacial Geomorphology helps in understanding landscape changes in present climate patterns. Together, these fields provide insights into the evolving dynamics of various hazards.
