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
1. Uses advanced geospatial technology to study fragile Himalayan
ecosystems and their sustainability. 2. Focuses on land use/land
cover changes (LULCC) a leading aspect of environmental changes
caused by human-induced activities in rapidly developing areas. 3.
Includes case studies from Indian Himalayan, Nepal, and Afghanistan
regions. 4. Provides satellite data and spatio-temporal analyses to
assess and monitor land cover and land use in the Himalayas. 5.
Discusses vegetation trends and forest fires related to ongoing
geohazards and climate change.

1. Uses advanced geospatial technology to study fragile Himalayan
ecosystems and their sustainability. 2. Provides satellite data and
spatio-temporal analyses to assess and monitor water resources in
the Himalayas. 3. Focuses on land use/land cover changes (LULCC) a
leading aspect of environmental changes caused by human-induced
activities in rapidly developing areas. 4. Includes case studies
from Indian Himalayan, Nepal, and Afghanistan regions. 5. Discusses
urban sprawls and future projections of groundwater resources and
air pollution in the region.
This book focuses on the application of geospatial technologies to
study the land use land cover (LULC) dynamics, agricultural water
management, water resources assessment and modeling, and studies on
natural disasters. LULC dynamics is one of the major research
themes for studying global environmental change using remote
sensing data. The section on LULC dynamics covers the multi-variate
criteria for land use and land cover classification and change
assessment in the mountainous regions. Further, LULC change
detection of the Tons river basin and LULC dynamics at decadal
frequency are studied to derive adaptation and mitigation
strategies. Landscape-level forest disturbance modeling, together
with conservation implications, is also included. The watershed
management approach is necessary for comprehensive management of
land and water resources of any region, where studies on
multi-criteria analysis for rainwater harvesting planning and its
impact on land use land cover transformations in rain-fed areas
using geospatial technologies are presented in this book. The book
will be useful for academics, water practitioners, scientists,
water managers, environmentalists, and administrators, NGOs,
researchers, and students who are actively involved in the
application of geospatial technologies in LULC studies,
agricultural water management and hydrological modelling and
natural disasters for addressing the challenges being posed by
climate change while addressing issues of food and water securities
