Sonu Khanal

Hidrólogo


Sonu Khanal (MSc.) has almost 7 years of experience in hydrology, catchment hydrology and rainfall-runoff modeling, with a strong focus on climate change impact studies, hydrological modeling and Flood Forecasting for operational services. His experiences were obtained at Institute of Engineering (IOE), International Centre for Integrated Mountain and Development (ICIMOD) and Practical Action (PAC), Nepal. His past work at ICIMOD consists of hydrological modeling at various spatial and temporal scales with a strong focus on the use of GIS, remote sensing and big databases. Over the last year, he focused on the flood risk studies in European catchments, operationalization of the probabilistic flood forecasting at different pilot basins with governmental institution and PAC in Nepal. He has international working experience in countries in Europe, Asia and Africa. He is conducting a combined external PhD research at FutureWater, KNMI and VU Amsterdam titled “Improving future weather techniques for flood forecasting”. This research project is funded by the Marie-Skłodowska-Curie European Training Network.
