Research summary
AI-generated

Saurabh Kaushik studies glaciers, glacial lakes, and related hazards in mountain regions like the Himalaya, using satellite imagery and deep learning to map and monitor these features over time. Recent work also builds large benchmark datasets to test how well AI 'foundation models' perform on tasks like flood mapping, cryosphere (ice and snow) monitoring, and glacial lake detection. The overall focus is on applying remote sensing and machine learning to track glacier change, glacial lake hazards, and landslide risk.
