Namaskar! and thank you very much for visiting my homepage.
This website reflects my life-long work and directs you to more resources if you are interested in pursuing the field of Himalayan Engineering Geology and Landslide Science. Here, you will also find more personal information about my experiences and publications in trying to stimulate landslide research and enlighten individuals to Himalayan Landslide Science that I and my research group have been uncovering.
And please come back again, because I update this page regularly.
