The virtual (PICO) session organized by Roopam Shuka, Ugur Ozturk, Ankit Agarwal, Wolfgang Schwanghart, and Kirsten Cook, aims to bring together expertise on approaches, methods, and data to advance the understanding of the impacts and changes in the extremely high mountain landscapes, with a particular focus on the trends of hydro-geomorphological disasters on the Himalayas and their societal impacts. The session is closely linked to the NHESS special issue "Estimating and Predicting Natural Hazards and Vulnerabilities in the Himalayan Region".
Inquire abstract submission in the following (or other related) fields are welcome:
- hydro-geophysical modeling (landslides, glacial lake outburst floods, riverine and flash floods)
- extreme event modeling
- remote-sensing-based observations
- risk/vulnerability assessment
- theories and models of reducing vulnerabilities and adaptation to natural hazards
- innovative data approaches to integrate natural and social science perspective
- recovery to natural hazards, in particular, usage of longitudinal data methods
You can submit your abstracts/articles by contacting Dr. Roopam Shukla. More information on the session can be found here and about the NHESS special issue here.
