The book contains twelve chapters which deal with various environmental challenges, such as the impacts of climate change on floods and droughts, population structure and regeneration dynamics of dominant treeline species, environmental changes and rural livelihoods, and change analysis and impacts of hard coastal structures. Apart from the various thematic areas and diversity of geographical coverage, most of the studies also demonstrate the application of geospatial techniques for the collection of environmental data, and the use of GIS for spatial analysis of the data. The specific application of geospatial techniques and methods includes NDVI, NDWI, NDBI, SMI, SPOT-VGT NDVI, environmental flow, distribution and trend estimation of tropospheric formaldehyde, vegetation sensitivity to climate change, variability of tropospheric ozone, and geo-environmental problems. The contributors are seasoned researchers currently engaged in academic and research activities, and work at universities in USA, India, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Japan. 001451193 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001451193 650_0 $$aClimatic changes$$zSouth Asia. 001451193 651_0 $$aSouth Asia$$xEnvironmental conditions. 001451193 655_7 $$aFestschriften.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01941036 001451193 655_7 $$aFestschriften.$$2lcgft 001451193 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001451193 7001_ $$aSaikia, Anup,$$d1965-$$eeditor.$$1https://isni.org/isni/0000000038934598 001451193 7001_ $$aThapa, Pankaj,$$d1970-$$eeditor.$$1https://isni.org/isni/0000000500413259 001451193 7001_ $$aTaher, Mohammed,$$d1931-2015,$$ehonoree. 001451193 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tEnvironmental change in South Asia.$$dCham : Springer, 2022$$z9783030476595$$w(OCoLC)1348996767 001451193 852__ $$bebk 001451193 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-47660-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001451193 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1451193$$pGLOBAL_SET 001451193 980__ $$aBIB 001451193 980__ $$aEBOOK 001451193 982__ $$aEbook 001451193 983__ $$aOnline 001451193 994__ $$a92$$bISE
