Profile

I am a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the School of Geography, University of Leeds, United Kingdom, and am currently working on the IMAGINE project that includes an interdisciplinary research team based at the Universities of UK and Canada. My research focuses on the climate change, vulnerability, indigenous communities and knowledge, Arctic climate risk, resilience and adaptation, and collaborating with community partners to identify and characterise how cryosphere-hydrosphere-ecosystem-habitat changes are experienced, perceived, and responded to at a community level. I have also worked on disaster management in the Himalayas focusing on the recent floods in the Kashmir Valley.
