This volume synthesizes critical environmental challenges of
dynamic earth and human environment systems in South Asia
emphasizing geographical dimensions. It deals with spaceborne
monitoring, climate, ecohydrology, forests and biodiversity,
land-use and land-cover change (LUCC), natural hazards, and
disasters in order to contribute towards a sustainable future. The
contributions range from traditional field techniques to the use of
remote sensing and geographic information systems. The book
integrates environmental attributes relating the past, present, and
future of South Asia broadly based on biophysical and human
dimensions in spatio-temporal perspectives. The monitoring of
natural hazards and climate issues is considered a vital component
in the context of environmental geography, especially in
observation and understanding of climate and water-induced
disasters. It is important to communicate the advances in
geoscience techniques to increase the resilience of the vulnerable
society of South Asia and to promote livelihood security. The
sustainability of South Asia depends strongly on the earth
environment, and thus the development of geo-environmental
monitoring is critical for a better understanding of our living
environment. The aim of the book is to present dynamic aspects of
environmental geography to contribute to future earth initiatives
in South Asia.
