Implications of the NBC 105 revision on NBC 205
Nepal Journal of Civil Engineering
How the revised seismic design code changes the mandatory rules of thumb for ordinary buildings.
Journal article
Research
Water resources, climate risk and the mechanics of public decision-making in Nepal. Published work first, work in progress marked clearly as such.
What I work on
Water resources and policy
How water is allocated, licensed and disputed, and what the law can and cannot make happen.
Climate risk and disasters
Seasonal water stress, glacial and rock-ice hazards, and the exposure of supply systems to both.
Public process and expenditure
Procurement, budget cycles and the time cost of the approval chain for public infrastructure.
