"Handbook Of Himalayan Ecosystems And Sustainability Two Volume Set | Environmental Engineering

This is a comprehensive handbook focused on geospatial applications used to study assess and monitor the Himalayan mountains. As a region of high relevance and very vulnerable regarding geohazards it is crucial to detect landscape changes and understand the drivers behind the changes. With advanced remote sensing and GIS tools in-depth analyses and interdisciplinary approaches the Handbook of Himalayan Ecosystems and Sustainability Two Volume Set studies forest and agriculture ecosystems urban sprawl and air pollution geo and other hazards and provides a breadth of data to support decision making and to aids in the preservation of the landscapes in a sustainable way. Features: Uses geospatial technology for studying fragile Himalayan ecosystems and their sustainability Includes 21 case studies from Indian Himalayan Nepal and Afghanistan regions Provides satellite data and geospatial modelling tools for assessing and monitoring all Himalayan landscapes Addresses cryospheric studies and related ongoing geohazards and potential climate change impacts Discusses ecology of the Himalayan rivers biodiversity and floristic shifting of endemic species and landscape restoration |Handbook of Himalayan Ecosystems and Sustainability Two Volume Set | Environmental Engineering
