I am a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow leading the project: Glacial Lake Observatory for Flood Hazards Impacted by Changing Climate (GLO-FHICC). I investigate lake development processes and glacier-related flood hazards to enhance disaster preparedness and increase water security across High-Mountain Asia. The project integrates satellite data, numerical modelling, and fieldwork to provide the foundations for systematic and open access glacial lake monitoring.

Project Title
Glacial Lake Observatory for Flood Hazards Impacted by Changing Climate (GLO-FHICC)Project Summary
Vision: To transform how we understand and prepare for glacial lake evolution and flood risk, and how we predict water availability in high mountain environments. I will establish a Glacial Lake Observatory that will underpin collaborative research by removing barriers to data access and knowledge exchange
