My role involves remote sensing based monitoring and assessment of the cryosphere (glaciers and glacial lakes) and cryosphere-related hazards such as glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) in the HKH. I supervise and guide a group of young professionals (within and outside Nepal) on mapping glaciers and glacial lakes applying earth observation (EO) and geospatial tools and techniques, and quantifying these data to analyze the glacial environment in the context of changing climate in the HKH.
