I have peer review journal publications, conference presentations, keynote presentation, public media appearance on science communication and computer skills demonstrate a continuous commitment relevant to advancing interdisciplinary research in Climate change, extreme events, reservoir sedimentation, the blue economy and sustainable water development which are directly aligned to the current proposed research project. As evidenced by his publications on extreme precipitation trends and global weather databases (Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2020, 2025 2026), land-use change impact on Water balance (Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2019; Environmental Earth Sciences, 2019)) and reservoir sedimentation modelling (Current Science, 2020). Moreover, sustainable water resource development, including renewable-energy-based rural water solutions (Next Energy, 2026). These works, complemented by presentations at international fora such as the International Symposium on Third Pole Environment (2023) and the AGU Fall Meeting (2018), confirms the researcher's proven capacity to advance the interdisciplinary science of climate change, extreme events, reservoir sedimentation, and sustainable water development that underpins the objectives of the Water4all project.
