Research Interests:
-
Climate and hydrology: Monsoon precipitation cycle in Himalayas, the transfer of precipitation to river discharge, transient groundwater storage and the impact of deep groundwater on surface processes. Mountain river hydrology, water reservoirs and flow paths in high mountains.
-
Erosion and mass transfer: Sediment production, storage and transport (from suspended sediment loads and terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide analysis). Controls on erosion processes and its transport.
-
Anthropogenic impacts on erosion fluxes (e.g. farming, mining, road construction)
-
Evaluation of remotely sensed informations (precipitation, vegetation, relief, etc.) with on-site information. Applying multi-data geo-spatial analysis to evaluate erosion processes on a temporal scale.
