Priyanka Vadrevu

I am an environmentalist by qualification, specialized in Hydro-glacial studies. My major areas of interest converge in Glaciology, Climate Change and IWRM Practices. I joined IPRN as an Executive Committee member in the year 2020 and served as vice-president in 2020-21 term and consecutively as President in the 2021-22 term. I have lead and guided on various projects here. Apart from my involvement at IPRN, I am also part of the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) International since 2019. At APECS, I have served as a Project Group Lead (PGL) (2019-20) and also as a Council Chair for two continuous terms (2020-22). I am also elected as the National Committee Coordinator (NCC) for the upcoming term (2022 -23) here. I had experience of participating in the Himalayan expeditions which are the most memorable part in the course of my career till now. I have pursued various training programs on Hydro-Glacial Studies, Climate Change and Remote Sensing of polar regions (including Himalayas) from most of the eminent institutes nationally, as well as internationally, both; these helps me in keeping up with the trending technical skills. I have been entitlement as a ‘Certified Glaciology Expert’ from Indian Institute of Ecology and Environment (IIEE). I am excited and passionate to continue further at IPRN in this term with my fellow ECRs to lead the IPRN once again and stretch its horizon further this term as well.
