Bio

Dr. Remya S.N. serves as an Assistant Professor in the School for Sustainable Futures at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Amritapuri, India.

She has many distinguished academic records to her credit, including study at the University of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland and research experience of 7 years at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore.

Dr. Remya is a recipient of the prestigious Nehru- Grimsson Fellowship from the President of Iceland and a Grant Winner of the International Glaciological Society (IGS) & American Geophysical Union (AGU).

Dr. Remya is instrumental in identifying the Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) potential of South Lhonak Glacial Lake, Sikkim Himalaya through Satellite data and modelling which resulted in establishing the First-time Automated Glacial Lake monitoring system in India by Govt. of India.

She has published many research papers in peer-reviewed international journals and conference proceedings. She has worked on DST/SERB-funded projects. She serves as a reviewer for many reputed international journals.
