Steep mountain rivers have hydraulic and morphodynamic characteristics that hinder velocity measurements. The high spatial variability of hydraulic parameters, such as water depth (WD), river width and flow velocity, makes the choice of a representative cross-section to measure the velocity in detail challenging. Additionally, sediment transport and rapidly changing bed morphology exclude the u...

Investigation of spatiotemporal variation in glacier velocity is imperative to comprehend mass and volume loss as a function their sensitivity climate change. The long-term record for the Eastern Himalayan region utmost importance owing its data scarcity sensitivity. Here, we present dataset spanning more than two decades (1994–2020) surface entire Sikkim Himalaya by applying image correlation ...

This paper was presented to the High-resolution Ocean Topography Science Working Group to present the biogeochemical aspects of mesoscale variability and how it relates to the observed baroclinic field sensed by onorbit microwave altimeters. As such, this paper summarizes the results of three projects the author is involved in: space/time patterns of biological variability as evidenced by remot...
