Forestry undergraduate researching forest fires and vegetation recovery with remote sensing in Nepal.
NepalWhat I'm looking for
My research examines forest fire trends from 2015 to 2026 and post-fire vegetation recovery in Division Forest Dang, Nepal. I mapped fires using VIIRS and Landsat data and conducted hotspot and vegetation recovery analysis with ArcGIS, Google Earth Engine, and Python.
At Division Forest Office, Dang, I assisted with field surveys and forest monitoring, collected GPS data, and supported conservation activities. I also co-founded EcoGrub, a sustainable insect-based feed startup, and am building my skills in GIS, remote sensing, and conservation research.
