In 2025, Akash Patil presented his research on “Investigating firn structure and density in the accumulation area of Aletsch Glacier using Ground Penetrating Radar” in the monthly seminar series organized by Dr. Brahma Dutt Vishwakarma at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Water Research (ICWaR), Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. The seminar brought together PhD students and postdoctoral researchers from a wide range of disciplines, including gravimetry for groundwater monitoring, glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs), and remote sensing and geophysical approaches to glacier mass balance. This was a great opportunity to share Akash’s work, exchange ideas across fields, and build possible collaborations aimed at advancing our understanding of Himalayan glaciers, which are increasingly affected by glacier‑related flood events in recent years.
