Dr. Til Prasad Pangali Sharma

Geographer focusing on GIS and Remote Sensing Applications in Disaster Risk Reduction in the Himalaya Region

About Me

Geographer with a strong academic background in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Holding a Master’s degree in Geography and a PhD in Cartography and GIS (2021), I have developed expertise in disaster risk analysis and the application of remote sensing data (mainly optical remote sensing data) in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). My research projects have focused on utilizing GIS approaches for land use change analysis and disaster risk assessment. Transitioning into my professional career, I have worked as a GIS expert and a DRR specialist on various national and international projects.

Developing With a Passion While Exploring The World.

With a deep passion for GIS and Remote Sensing, I explore the world through spatial analysis, uncovering insights that contribute to disaster risk reduction, especially in the Himalayan region. My work blends scientific research, real-world applications, and technological advancements to develop geospatial solutions that aid in resilience and sustainability. 

Through publishing research, collaborating on national and international projects, and continuously learning, I strive to bridge the gap between data and decision-making. Whether analyzing satellite imagery, mapping disasters, or developing geospatial tools, my journey is driven by curiosity, innovation, and a commitment to making a difference.

What Services I'm Providing

I specialize in GIS and Remote Sensing analysis, focusing on disaster risk reduction, land use mapping, and environmental monitoring. My expertise extends to Web GIS development, creating interactive mapping solutions using tools like Leaflet, Google Earth Engine, and QGIS. I also provide disaster risk assessment, including hazard mapping and multi-hazard risk modeling. As a researcher, I contribute to scientific publications and consulting, offering technical writing, proposal development, and project support. Additionally, I offer freelance consulting and training, helping individuals and organizations with GIS-based solutions, geospatial analysis, and training in QGIS, Python, and Google Earth Engine.
