Dr Prasoon Singh is an expert in climate resilience, hydrology, and disaster risk management with over a decade of experience. He specializes in urban flood modeling, groundwater dynamics, and policy analysis, with a focus on integrating climate adaptation, GIS analysis, and statistical computing to enhance water resource management.
He holds a Ph.D. in Hydrology and Climate Change and an M.Sc. in Water Resources Management from the TERI School of Advanced Studies, New Delhi. Currently, he serves as a Fellow and Area Convenor at The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), where he leads research on flood risk assessment, climate vulnerability, and watershed management. Previously, as a Senior Consultant at the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), Government of India, he was instrumental in developing national flood management strategies and technical guidelines.
Dr Singh has spearheaded high-impact projects, including hydropower optimization in Bhutan, dam break analysis in India, and the development of the Hyderabad Climate Action Plan. Notably, his work on the Flood Hazard Atlas of India established a critical national database for disaster preparedness. His expertise also extends to climate resilience strategies for high-altitude wetlands and coastal zones.
His research is extensively published in peer-reviewed journals and policy briefs, focusing on urban resilience and wetland conservation. Among his many accolades, he received the Best Paper Award at the National Conference on Transforming India (2023) and was an SCCF Scholar (2011-2013).
Technically proficient in hydrological modeling software (SWAT, MIKE SHE, HEC-RAS) and GIS tools (QGIS, ArcGIS, spatial R packages), Dr Singh continues to bridge the gap between complex data and actionable policy. He actively collaborates with government agencies and private sector stakeholders to address the world’s most pressing climate challenges.
