This edited volume, showcasing cutting-edge research, addresses two
primary questions - what are the main drivers of change in
high-mountains and what are the risks implied by these changes?
From a physical perspective, it examines the complex interplay
between climate and the high-mountain cryosphere, with further
chapters covering tectonics, volcano-ice interactions, hydrology,
slope stability, erosion, ecosystems, and glacier- and snow-related
hazards. Societal dimensions, both global and local, of
high-mountain cryospheric change are also explored. The book offers
unique perspectives on high-mountain cultures, livelihoods,
governance and natural resources management, focusing on how global
change influences societies and how people respond to
climate-induced cryospheric changes. An invaluable reference for
researchers and professionals in cryospheric science,
geomorphology, climatology, environmental studies and human
geography, this volume will also be of interest to practitioners
working in global change and risk, including NGOs and policy
advisors.
