Chris has been named a Fulbright Scholar for 2020-21 and will be on sabbatical in Spring 2021 to extend what has been nearly a decade of collaboration in Mendoza, Argentina, where he will be teaching on the water-energy-food nexus and conducting research on Andean river basin development.

He has also been named Mountain Chair for 2020-22 by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development. In lieu of travel to the region, he will deliver an online water-energy-food nexus seminar addressing Himalayan regional challenges and opportunities for regional transboundary cooperation.

The International Water Resources Association (IWRA), of which Chris has been an active, two-decades-long member, named Chris as an IWRA Fellow Member in recognition of major contributions to IWRA and academic qualification in the field of water resources management.
