Glacier Hazards, Vulnerability, and Risk Assessment : Working Group
We work on technologies for monitoring and mitigating glacier-related hazards, including Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOF), snow avalanches, rock-ice avalanches, etc.
Our mission is to develop technologies for monitoring and mitigating glacial hazards, with the aim of reducing their negative impact on life and infrastructure in high-mountain Asia and the Indo-Gangetic Plains. For this, we combine modeling and machine learning techniques to simulate and investigate processes including GLOF, avalanches, landslides, etc. We focus on developing actionable early warning systems for GLOF and avalanche hazards in the Himalayan states.
