Often called the "Roof of the World" and the "Third Pole," the Himalayas are among Earth's most breathtaking yet geologically active mountain ranges. While these majestic peaks inspire awe, they also conceal a complex interplay of geological risks, environmental challenges, and socioeconomic vulnerabilities. At the heart of the volume lies the theme The Himalaya at Risk, emphasizing the urgent need to bridge the gap between hazard management, community action, policy development, and scientific research. Integrating insights from geology, geomorphology, geography, environmental science, disaster management, and sustainable development, the book offers a comprehensive overview of the region's risk environment. The Himalaya Dilemma is intended for a diverse readership, including academics and researchers in the fields of geology, environmental science, disaster risk management, and climate studies, policymakers and development practitioners involved in building disaster resilience and promoting sustainable development in mountain regions, as well as students seeking a deeper understanding of Himalayan geohazards and the broader consequences of environmental change.Springer Natural Hazards,2365-0664Earth sciencesNatural disastersGeomorphologyEarth SciencesNatural HazardsGeomorphologyEarth sciences.Natural disasters.Geomorphology.Earth Sciences.Natural Hazards.Geomorphology.550Ghosh Sandipan887468MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911031633303321The Himalaya Dilemma4445223UNINA
