Profile
I am a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the School of Geography, University of Leeds, United Kingdom. I am currently working on the IMAGINE project https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=NE%2FX003868%2F1 which includes an interdisciplinary research team based at the Universities of the UK and Canada. My research focuses on climate change, vulnerability, adaptation, resilience, and political ecology. I am interested in the human dimensions of climate change, particularly in the areas of adaptation and resilience. My work involves documenting Indigenous knowledge, identifying risk factors, developing community-based adaptation strategies, and understanding how Arctic communities experience, perceive, and respond to climate change. My research also involves climate change and disaster studies in the Himalayas, with a focus on the recent floods in the Kashmir Valley.
