River morphology & floods

Analysing river channel dynamics, planform change, bank erosion and flood plain behaviour in high-gradient Himalayan and Terai river systems using field survey, remote sensing and 1D/2D hydraulic modelling informing flood risk zoning, river training design and floodplain land use management.

Avalanche & GLOFs

Characterising glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) hazard and snow avalanche risk through satellite image analysis, field reconnaissance, lake bathymetry and dynamic flood routing for producing hazard maps, dam-break scenarios and early warning thresholds for high mountain communities and infrastructure.

Slope stability and lanslides

Evaluating rainfall-triggered and seismically induced landslide susceptibility, hazard and risk across mountain watersheds by using geotechnical field investigation, GIS-based susceptibility modelling and physically based slope stability analysis to support early warning design and land use planning.

Droughts

Assessing meteorological, hydrological and agricultural drought conditions using standardised indices (SPI, SPEI, SDI), remote sensing and long-term station data for informing drought early warning, water allocation planning and climate adaptation for agriculture and water supply sectors.
