Excited to share that the third paper of my PhD is now available online in Earth Surface Processes and Landforms: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…! In this study, my colleagues and I (incl. @KarinInACanyon) used sedimentary evidence to reconstruct past hazard cascades in the Himalayas.

What are glacial lake outburst #floods and why do they happen? Using recently published research from @EGU_NHESS EGU Media & Communications Officer Gillian D'Souza investigates these lesser known #glacier #NaturalHazards on the #EGUblogs. Read more: egu.eu/0LF55Z/

A big thank you to all the people that accompanied and supported me on this four-year long journey! I was very happy to see so many of you in yesterday's audience. Also, really loving the hat 🏔️🌊🐧✈️

Happy to share that our latest study has just been published in a special issue @EGU_NHESS! Have a read if you are interested in quantifications of hazard and exposure of rapidly spreading urban areas to sudden high-magnitude floods in the Himalayas:

Check out our scenario-based outburst flood models for fast growing Pokhara, Nepal's second largest city, in this NHESS preprint:

Happy to be part of the Early Career Researchers session starting at 12:30 CET today #NSIH2021! Listen in if you want to know what Bayesian multi-level modelling can tell us about the controls of outburst susceptibility of glacial lakes in the greater Himalayan region 🏔️

What can we learn more about #GLOF susceptibility in the greater #Himalayas by applying #Bayesian multilevel models? What does the data tell us about the role of glacier-mass balance, lake-area change and other candidate predictors? Find the answers in our new article @EGU_TC!

@BikeIgnacio Thanks! Together with @KarinInACanyon we are also applying ANUGA to simulate events with larger peak discharges

Just uploaded my display material for Friday's #vEGU21_CR session CR5.4! Check it out and chat with me about our hydrodynamic models for Pokhara (Nepal) - a fast growing city located in a Himalayan valley with long outburst flood history 🏔️ meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU21/EGU21-12…

The results of our @NatRiskChange taskforce have now been published as a comment in @EarthsFutureEiC. Working on this particular cascade of #naturalhazards with all of you was a great interdisciplinary experience!

Discussion open for comments: Controls of outbursts of moraine-dammed lakes in the greater Himalayan region doi.org/10.5194/tc-202…
