Navaraj Pokhrel

Ph.D. in Geography

Summary

I am a climate researcher from Nepal, country of Mount Everest, examining precipitation–cryosphere interactions across high mountain environments, particularly in the Himalaya. Currently a PhD candidate in the Department of Geography under the supervision of Dr. Baker Perry, I study how intensifying hydroclimatic extremes influence glacier mass balance, hazards, and water resources. As part of this work, I also install and maintain weather stations and radar systems to improve high-altitude climate observations.

Research interests

  • Atmosphere-Cryosphere interaction
  • Precipitation extremes and associated glacio-hydrological hazard
  • Precipitation phase and Spatiotemporal change

Education

  • M.S. in Hydrology and Meteorology, Tribhuvan University, Nepal, 2023
  • B.S. in Meteorolgoy, Tribhuvan University, Nepal, 2021
