Brief Statement of Research Interest

I prefer incorporating techniques from different disciplines in my research in order to understand underlying processes behind my research interests that mostly encompass, land degradation, desertification, droughts, landfill management, climatic and meteorological phenomena, sedimentation in reservoirs and glacial retreat.

Currently my research falls into four broad categories: (i) desertification and droughts (ii) Sustainable land management (iii) sedimentation in reservoirs (iv) disaster risk reduction techniques. I am particularly interested in how people residing in drylands, cope with drought episodes, and how can policy makers play their part in minimizing the impacts of desertification.
