About

Hi - my name is Karuna! I have a bachelors degree in Earth Sciences from Dickinson College and a masters degree in Geomatics from Stockholm University. I am currently pursuing a postgraduate diploma in Science Communication prior to applying for a PhD in glaciology. My interest in climate science is motivated by my love and reverence for the great outdoors! Born in a family of mountaineers, I have heard accounts of glacial recession in the Himalayas as seen by my father and uncles from when I was a child. These accounts evolved over the years into a passion for wanting to study glaciology. I wish to document my journey with fieldwork and research along with my love for photography, data visualization, story telling, and in the future filmmaking!
