Research Associate Dr. Mohd Soheb
Since 2021 he has worked as a lecturer/research associate at the Department of Geography. He did his PhD project at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. which he completed in 2021. In his research, he focuses on the cryosphere, water resources, climate change, and their impact on local livelihood in high altitudes Himalayan regions (especially Trans-Himalaya region of Ladakh and Upper Indus Basin).
Research Topics
