Share now Advancing Himalayan Geoscience for a Resilient, Sustainable, and Resource-Secure World 🤝 NGSS Collaborates with NGS The Nepal Geological Students’ Society (NGSS) is pleased to announce its official collaboration with the Nepal Geological Society (NGS) in the organization of the NGS Symposium on Landslide Safety. This landmark symposium, themed“Landslide Hazard and Bio-engineering Approaches for Slope Stability in Nepal” reflects a shared commitment to advancing Himalayan geoscience for a resilient, sustainable, and resource-secure world. 🎤 Keynote & Technical Presentations 🔹 Prof. Dr. Megh Raj Dhital “Landslide Processes and Mechanisms: Why Science Matters for Mitigation” Prof. Dr. Dhital is a pioneering figure in Himalayan geoscience. His seminal contributions to landslide dynamics, rock mechanics, and engineering geology have shaped academic thought and professional practice across Nepal and the region. His keynote will underscore the indispensable role of fundamental science in effective hazard mitigation. 🔸 Dr. Madhusudhan Acharya “Landslide Hazard Identification and Mitigation Measures: Common Practice Adopted in Nepal” Dr. Acharya will present a comprehensive overview of field-based practices currently employed in Nepal for landslide hazard assessment and mitigation, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and on-ground implementation. 🔸 Dr. Binod Neupane “From Roots to Resilience: Vetiver Technology in Geo-hazard Control” Dr. Neupane will introduce Vetiver Grass Technology, a cost-effective, nature-based solution for slope stabilization and erosion control. His presentation will showcase successful applications of this bioengineering innovation in Nepal’s fragile Himalayan terrain. 🧠 Panel Discussion “Building Safer Landscapes: Science, Nature, and Practice” A distinguished multi-stakeholder panel will engage in a high-level dialogue on integrating scientific knowledge, bioengineering solutions, and institutional practice for landslide risk reduction in Nepal. Panelists: Prof. Dr. Tara Nidhi Bhattarai – Moderator Mr. Dinesh Bhatta—CEO, NDRRMA Dr. Bijay Jaisi—Director General, Department of Roads Dr. Santosh Kaini—Deputy Director General, DWRI Mr. Dilip Sadaula—Senior Geologist Dr. Manita Timilsina—Geotechnical Engineer About Author NGSS TU See author's posts Post navigation 28th National Earthquake Safety Day 2082 – Joint Awareness Stall by NGS & NGSS
