We work on technologies for monitoring and mitigating glacier-related hazards, including Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOF), snow avalanches, rock-ice avalanches, etc.
Dr. Ashim Sattar's research includes various applications of remote sensing and GIS. His research focus is on the cryosphere, including remote sensing-based glacier modeling, and modeling of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) and other mountain hazards. His research expertise deals with several aspects of high mountain hazards, risks, and adaptation. Dr. Sattar is involved in multi-disciplinary and cross-sectoral research around the globe, including the Himalayas, the Andes, Iceland, and Central Asia, both at a local scale and in regional-scale assessments. His research involves understanding various mass movement processes in high mountain geosystems, focusing on recent dynamics. He is involved in understanding different forms of potential mass movement including landslides, avalanches, and rockfalls.

Monitoring Glacial Hazards in High Mountain Asia (HMA) and various mountain ranges around the globe.
Monitoring Glacial Hazards in High Mountain Asia (HMA) and various mountain ranges around the globe.
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.
