New preprint on the mismatch between perceived and assessed flood risk in India
Preprint | EarthArXiv, EarthArXiv
This preprint presents a national-scale mapping of the mismatch between how people perceive their flood risk and their actual assessed flood risk across India. Read the preprint here.
New paper on fire-exposed vegetation in the Orinoco Basin
Journal Article | Sustainable Geosciences: People, Planet and Prosperity, Elsevier
This paper assesses fire-exposed vegetation in the Orinoco Basin using Sentinel-2 imagery and deep learning. Read the paper here.
New preprint on Global Flood Mapper v2
Preprint | EarthArXiv, EarthArXiv
This preprint introduces Global Flood Mapper v2, an open-access tool for flood mapping and exposure assessment using Sentinel-1 SAR imagery, enabling flood depth estimation, geospatial data export, and population exposure analysis directly in the browser. Read the preprint here.

Flood mapping using machine learning at NeurIPS 2025
Conference | San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA
I will be at NeurIPS 2025 in San Diego, CA to present my work on “Flood mapping with optical and microwave satellite data: from indices to machine learning”. This is a part of the Climate Change AI’s Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning tutorial track. Please find the details here: tripathyp.github.io/neurips2025.
IEEE GRSS MAMI WATA Workshop
Workshop | Sapienza University, Rome, Italy
I will be attending the 2025 IEEE GRSS MicrowAve MonItoring of WATer with Applications (MAMI WATA) Workshop. I will delived a talk titled “Microwave is Not Optical: Challenges in Using SAR for Large-Scale Flood Mapping”. The event will be held during November 18-21, 2025 and I am glad to receive a travel support from the IEEE-Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS).
I-GUIDE Summer School 2025
