Sahana Subramanian

Sahana is a doctoral student at LUCSUS in the NATURICE project. She studies concerns of water scarcity and changing agricultural livelihoods in cryospheric environments in the Western Himalayas. She also studies changing resource governance and technologies developed to address water scarcity. Sahana takes a political ecology approach to critically examine the power relations and inequalities emerging within these transformations in the era of climate change and cryospheric changes.
