Project: Creating Climate-resilient Communities in Mid-Hills of Uttarakhand: Interventions towards Forest, Water & Livelihood Security.
• Conducted geological study of the springs and drains in 3 populous villages of Mukteshwar, Uttarakhand,
• Mapping and surveyed the household level dependencies, rock structures and generating spring profile.
• Assisted the awareness programmes and training of localities about the importance of nature based solutions (NBS).
Currently enrolled in a doctoral programme offered by the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS), Department of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). My research has been strongly focused on the redesigning of models to simulate future trajectories of climate change and niche modelling. The research will develop approaches to conserve biodiversity under climate and land-use change.
