Titre(s) : Himalayan weather and climate and their impact on the environment [Texte électronique] / A.P. Dimri, B. Bookhagen, M. Stoffel, T. Yasunari, editors
Publication : Cham : Springer, copyright 2020
Description matérielle : 1 online resource : illustrations (some color)
Note(s) : Index
This book proposes a unique and comprehensive integrated synthesis of the current
understanding of the science of Himalayan dynamics and its manifestations on physical
systems and ecosystems at different spatial and temporal scales. In particular, this
work covers relevant aspects of weather and climate, paleoclimate, snow, glacier and
hydrology, ecology/forestry among other topics associated with the Himalayas. It highlights
the role of the Himalayas in defining local to regional to global scale impact on
weather and climate. It includes Himalayan impact on defining physical basis of changing
glacier systems, permafrost melting/thawing, climate variability, and hydrological
balances. As a result, this volume represents an important synthesized overview both
for environmental and earth science researchers, and for policy makers and stakeholders
interested in the physical and dynamical processes associated with the Himalayan massif
