Tenzing Chogyal Sherpa focuses on understanding Himalayan snowpacks, their hydrological responses to global warming, their associated climate feedbacks, and the implications of these changes for regional water security. Before starting his PhD, he worked for nearly eight years at ICIMOD, an intergovernmental organization based in Nepal. His work there centered […]

Kyra is a PhD candidate part of the MountAInWater project, which aims to deliver a global reanalysis and future projections of the mountain water cycle. Kyra’s PhD focuses on the Himalaya, and she uses land-surface modeling and field measurements to investigate non-linear feedbacks and tipping points that can cause abrupt […]
Darwin is a PhD candidate in the Mountain Hydrology group at Utrecht University, working at the interface of Physical Geography and Earth Sciences. His PhD investigates Himalayan precipitation change using leaf wax lipid biomarkers (n-alkanes) and their hydrogen isotopic composition (δ2Hwax) preserved in lake sediments. He investigates past Indian Summer […]
Aris is a physical geographer in the Mountain Hydrology group at Utrecht University. For his PhD project, he will investigate high-altitude precipitation patterns in High Mountain Asia. His research focuses on the effects of orography, climate systems, and land usage on valley scale precipitation patterns. To achieve this, he will […]
Raeven is a PhD candidate in the mountain hydrology group focusing on synoptic scale orographic precipitation processes in the Himalaya, Karakoram and Pamir mountain ranges. She will investigate the interaction between the extreme topography of these mountains with large scale atmospheric processes through a combination of field measurements, remote sensing, […]
Brecht D’Haeyer (MSc.) is a hydrologist and water resources engineer with 3 years of experience in surface water (irrigation engineering, river engineering, lock engineering) and groundwater (saline agriculture, droughts, pumping test analyses). He has worked both for the public and private industry in Belgium, Bangladesh, Burundi, India, Myanmar, and Tajikistan. […]
Leon is a PhD candidate in the Mountain Hydrology group at Utrecht University. For his PhD project he focuses on the effect that mountain greening has on the hydrology in the Meretschi catchment in the Swiss Alps. During the project he will combine lab work, fieldwork, experiments and modelling to […]
Florian is a glaciologist in the Mountain Hydrology group at Utrecht University. For his PhD project, he studies calving glaciers in Greenland, focusing on lake-terminating glaciers and their response to the climate crisis. He combines satellite and UAV remote sensing, numerical modelling, and field methods to investigate the role of […]
Pranisha has a background in Civil Engineering specialising in Hydropower and with four years of experience working in Nepal’s Hydropower sector, she is passionate about water resources. Pursuing a master’s at IHE Delft, the Netherlands focused on Hydrology and Water resource further fueled her research interest and now she is […]
