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. 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aClimatology 606 $aHydrogeology 606 $aEcology  606 $aPaleoecology 606 $aEarth System Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G35000 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aClimatology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/311000 606 $aHydrogeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G19005 606 $aEcology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19007 606 $aPaleoecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U21010 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aHydrogeology. 615 0$aEcology . 615 0$aPaleoecology. 615 14$aEarth System Sciences. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aClimatology. 615 24$aHydrogeology. 615 24$aEcology. 615 24$aPaleoecology. 676 $a550 676 $a551.695 702 $aDimri$b A.P$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBookhagen$b B$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aStoffel$b M$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aYasunari$b T$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910366627003321 996 $aHimalayan Weather and Climate and their Impact on the Environment$92179957 997 $aUNINA
