Opis

With advanced remote sensing and GIS tools, in-depth analyses, and interdisciplinary approaches, this volume studies glacier dynamics and snow cover variabilities, river basins, their hydrology, ecology, and flooding. Discusses also urban ecosystem, particulates and their deposition in the Himalayas, and the impact of climate change.
