Core Expertise

As a Cryospheric Systems Analyst, I develop chaos theory-based prediction frameworks to model nonlinear meltwater runoff dynamics in glacial watersheds, integrating stochastic hydrology, fractal geometry, and machine learning. My work addresses critical uncertainties in water resource management under climate change by decoding complex ice-atmosphere-hydrosphere interactions.

Technical Capabilities

1. Chaos-Theoretic Modeling

  • Nonlinear Time Series Analysis:

    • Implemented Lyapunov exponent calculations to quantify predictability horizons (typically 3–14 days for alpine glaciers)

    • Discovered strange attractors in supraglacial pond drainage events using delay embedding techniques

  • Hybrid AI Approaches:

    • Combined reservoir computing with phase space reconstruction for daily discharge forecasts (NSE >0.82)

2. Multiscale Data Fusion

  • Sensor Network Integration:

    • Processed ICESat-2 altimetry (500m resolution) with ground-penetrating radar transects to constrain basal sliding chaos parameters

    • Developed edge-computing nodes for real-time moulin water level chaos detection

  • Paleo-Runoff Reconstruction:

    • Applied wavelet coherence to link moraine deposits with historical Lorenz butterfly patterns

3. Climate Adaptation Tools

  • Early Warning Systems:

    • Predicted 83% of GLOF events in Himalayas 24–48 hours in advance via entropy thresholding

  • Water Security Planning:

    • Optimized Andean reservoir operations using meltwater chaos indices

Impact & Collaborations

  • Global Initiatives:

    • Lead Modeler for UNESCO-IHP's High Mountain Water Futures Programme

    • Contributed chaos modules to NOAA's NextGen Hydrologic Prediction System

  • Open Science:

    • Released ChaosFlow – Python library for meltwater attractor visualization

Signature Innovations

  • Algorithm: Fractal Kalman Filter for noise-resistant runoff predictions (Patent Pending)

  • Publication: "Detecting Climate Change Signals in Glacial Chaos Regimes" (PNAS Nexus, 2025)

  • Award: 2024 IACS Cryosphere Young Investigator Medal

Optional Customizations

  • For Academia: "Identified meltwater chaos as early indicator of ice shelf instability"

  • For Policy: "Our models informed 2025 IPCC Special Report on Mountain Water Resources"

  • For Media: "Featured in Netflix 'Chasing Ice Rivers' documentary series"

Chaos Analysis

Analyzing runoff timeseries using chaos verification phase.

Water splashes energetically as droplets of various sizes are captured mid-air against a backdrop of rocks. The scene is dynamic and filled with motion, highlighting the chaotic and lively nature of rushing water.

Data Visualization

Developing probabilistic prediction visualization with confidence intervals.

A close-up view captures water droplets suspended in the air, creating a dynamic and chaotic pattern against a dark background. The droplets vary in size and are randomly scattered, reflecting light to create a glistening effect.
