During the programme, he received advanced training on geohazard assessment tools, numerical modelling techniques and the integration of geological and geotechnical data for hazard-prone regions. His participation aligns closely with his doctoral research on climate-induced disasters, particularly debris flows and GLOFs.“Field visits to the alpine regions and the hands-on sessions on remote sensing and modelling tools were especially valuable for my ongoing research,” Shivam said.
