Seasonal water dynamics in Sikkim’s high-altitude wetlands (2016–2022) show climate-driven changes in extent and turbidity, emphasizing the need for continuous monitoring and adaptive management.
Landslide Forecasting Using EO Data: A Review of Current Global Approaches
‘This review examines global approaches for landslide forecasting using Earth Observation (EO) data.’
Reviving Mountain Ecology through Water Resource Management: Integrating Local Knowledge and Geospatial Tools for Resilience in the Himalayas.
This study integrates local knowledge and geospatial tools to address Himalayan water degradation, using watershed management and community-driven revival of Gad Ganga to propose a scalable framework.
Dynamics of Saturated Areas and Water Table Levels in High-Andean Wetlands of the Southern Peruvian Andes (2020-2021)
This study analyses the relationship between the variation of saturated area and water tables in Andean wetlands (2020-2021) by remote sensing, demonstrating the seasonal dynamics over the years.
Radar-based Detection of Water films for Gliding Snow – A laboratory Approach
Radar-Measurements offers the possibility to detect the water film between the snowcover and the soil. Lab testing and machine learning define the necessary parameters for the water film detection.
