Back in the Langtang with a great team and lots of things planned for the coming two weeks ranging from rock temperatures, groundwater to evapotranspiration measurements!

I am really happy to announce that I have been awarded an European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant to work on the link between frozen water reserves in the high mountains of Asia and food production downstream! #ERCCoG #3POLE2SEA WUR Environmental Water @ Wageningen

The last #paper of my #PhD exploring #future of #hydropower in the #Indus is out! Here is me using Google to translate my papers for my parents. Proper paper promos will be in 2024, for now happy holidays! doi.org/10.1016/j.scit… doi.org/10.1016/j.apen… doi.org/10.3389/frwa.2…

The deadline for #EGU24 abstract submissions is approaching ⏰ Join the mountain hydrology session HS2.1.4! This year we are happy to have immerzeel as invited speaker 🏔️💧

We have a new postdoc vacancy in our European project Megawat focusing on the role of mountains in buffering extreme drought. The deadline is 14 April. Come work with us! uu.nl/en/organisatio…

We have a new 2-year postdoc vacancy focusing on glacier lake- ice dynamics in the Himalaya, including fieldwork and modelling. The deadline for applications is 10 May! uu.nl/en/organisatio…

In a frenzy to get ready for EGU ? Don't worry about making a schedule, just attend our Physical Geography - Utrecht University mountain hydro presentations - with topics from the peak water myth, to groundwater, debris flow and crevasses, there's something for everyone! See you soon🎉😄

I am very happy and excited to have been awarded an ERC Advanced grant. Big thanks to everyone who contributed! The coming five years I hope to improve our understanding of snow and rainfall patterns in the beautiful mountain ranges of Asia!

Two more days!

What is better than starting your #EGU24 with Mountain Hydrology? 🏔️💧❄️🤩 Join us Monday at 8:30 room 2.31 for an exciting line-up of talks, taking us to various mountain regions in the world, including invited speakers immerzeel & Anna Herzog

Is there scope to develop sufficient sustainable hydropower to meet future energy demands? On 29th of May Sanita (she/her) defends her PhD thesis on sustainable hydropower development in the Indus basin ⚡️💡 Be part of the spectacle in person or online! uu.nl/en/events/phd-…

De volgende stap in het klimaatonderzoek: wat is de invloed van terugkoppelingsmechanismen op de huidige klimaatverandering? Consortium EMBRACER gaat het de komende 10 jaar onderzoeken dankzij NWO SUMMIT financiering uu.nl/nieuws/30-milj…

To allow 600+ persons to have reached Everest summit (as of today), this is what the Base Camp on the Khumbu glacier looked like on 7th May... a proper city! 😳🤮 With all linked environmental problems when located at 5360m on debris-covered ice! 🚮 1/ 🎥 Satkauskas Mindaugas

Extremely proud of Sanita (she/her) who gracefully defended her PhD thesis on sustainable hydropower in the Indus basin today! Arthur Lutz Arun B Shrestha ICIMOD Utrecht University SustainIndus

Great initiative by ICIMOD

How important is groundwater in mountains, how is it influenced by melting glacier and snow and do we understand it? New paper led by Marit van Tiel

New paper in Nature Water about how mountain snow and ice is connected to groundwater, and how much it matters! Check out the great thread by Marit van Tiel for the summary, and/or this little video for the super informal summary! Mountain Research Initiative Physical Geography - Utrecht University

Geohazard/climate hazards such as GLOF are part of life in Khumbu, Everest region. How we mitigate such hazards is of utmost importance now more than ever. We have been seeing this since the 80s or b4. #Thame #GLOF, #Nepal. Stay safe and alert. #Climatehazard #Geohazard #flood

Post flood event imagery are released, indicating breaching of top lake flowing to next lake and causing downstream flood. Observe significant changes in water and increased white sediment. Image compilation by: AMRIT THAPA #ThameFlood #Nepal #GLOF #Climatehazard

As part of the ERC Advanced DROP project on mountain precipitation, we have vacancies for two fully funded PhD positions and for a four year postdoc position. More details here: uu.nl/en/organisatio…
