Research interests
My research is predominantly focused on quantifying landslide processes and characteristics in the Nepal Himalaya. This involves investigating questions such as: Are landslides stochastic? Are landscape responses to trigger events time-dependent? And how do fluvial, glacial, geological and human processes impact landslide distributions and characteristics through time? It is hoped that a better understanding of these issues will allow us to develop improved landslide susceptibility models, which are a vital resource used by policy makers and hazard assessors to manage and mitigate landslide hazard and vulnerability.
