Grateful to the #DPNet family for electing me President at the 17th AGM. With the Executive Committee, we’ll strengthen member coordination and advance #DRR. I invite members and global partners to work together on #AnticipatoryAction, #EWS4All, and resilient livelihoods.

Time waits for no one. so let’s learn to follow it, respect it, and use it wisely. Cheers to growth, discipline, and new beginnings. Happy New Year 2026!

We share our study on paleoearthquake timing along the Western Nepal fault system! Findings show Holocene ruptures on all trenched faults, suggesting complex multifault ruptures & heightened seismic risks in the Himalayan megathrust. Link: pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geosphere/…

Honored to moderate a session on “Emerging Hazards & Transboundary Risk” at the 4th National Conference on DRR. Climate extremes, seismo-tectonics & human activities are intensifying risks in the Himalayas. We must strengthen 🇳🇵🇨🇳🇮🇳 collaboration for data sharing & EWS.

Always a pleasure to engage with bright undergraduate students in discussions on cascading and compounding hazards. Real-world examples make the complexity of multi-hazard risk assessment come alive — a crucial skill for tomorrow’s risk professionals!

Very glad to engage with students & professors on #PlanetaryHealth this #EnvironmentDay2025 🌍✨ Shared how geology shapes civilizations—Thakkhola graben as a powerful example! Let’s unite for sustainable resource use & cut down plastics to save our planet. 💚♻️ #Sustainability #ActNow

It is estimated that this year's monsoon will receive more rain and be warmer than average. Since many disasters could occur during this monsoon, the concerned stakeholders should work on pre-preparation to prevent them from turning into disasters.

Lumbini to Lo-Manthang: Planetary Health filed lab” has just kicked off with 20 students from USA, Nepal, China and India.

Very good and productive expert discussion to develop multi-hazard risk assessment methodology. I have shared my ideas to set the discussion.

We invite you to our EGU-2025 session on 'Cascading and Compounding Hazards in the Mountains'. We'll dive into sediment mobilization, cascading events, and the dynamic connections between hillslopes and river networks #EGU2025 @egu.eu

Proud to see @TribhuvanUni, @UniMelb, @Cambridge_Uni, @UniFirenze, @PracticalAction, @StimsonCenter & Feed Pvt. Ltd. collaborate for high-accuracy landslide forecasting for Nepal Himalaya!

Are you ready to step outside the classroom and experience hands-on learning in the field? If yes, please apply to this interesting Planetary Health: Field Lab program. 🔗 [Application link: forms.gle/PLuQoQXz4qoa...

Honored to moderate a vibrant session at the National Policy Dialogue on #LandslideEWS hosted by NDRRMA, Nepal. Great insights from esteemed colleagues! Blending space-borne tech with ground observations is key for resilient early warning in the Nepal Himalaya.

Great discussions today with top officials from DHM, DMG, and NDRRMA on our CDRIN-LLEAPS project! With high forecast accuracy, AI and Earth observation are paving the way for landslide early warning in the Nepal Himalaya—timely, needed, and impactful.

I shared my insights on climate change and disaster risk reduction in the Nepal Himalayas, emphasizing actionable steps for effectively implementing the Sendai Framework (interview in English). www.youtube.com/watch?v=K95a...

Grateful to the Institute of Geology, National Building Research Organisation, Srilanka for the opportunity to present on geohazard investigation and landslide early warning systems (LEWS) in the Himalayas. Inspired by the institute's remarkable LEWS initiatives in Colombo.

Are you working on cascading and compounding hazards in high mountain regions? We're hosting a session at #EGU2025 to explore this critical topic! 🌋 Share your insights, research, or case studies with international experts. 📢 Call for abstracts now open!

Engaged in an insightful discussion with John Raynolds on integrated geo-hazard assessment in the Himalayas. A vital step toward enhancing infrastructure resilience in this dynamic region. #Himalayas #GeoHazard #ResilientInfrastructure

Grateful to Kristen Cook for an enlightening talk on Himalayan sediment dynamics, using Bhotekoshi, South Lonak, & Thame GLOFs as case studies. Fascinating insights on how small glacial lake outbursts transport massive sediment loads in steep Himalayan corridors. #Himalayas #SedimentDynamics #GLOFs

The majestic beauty of the Himalayas.
