It includes a complete package of knowledge on service life cycles including multi-disciplinary topics and practically tested applications for the HKH. It comprises 19 chapters drawing from a decade?s worth of experience gleaned over the course of our implementation of SERVIR-HKH ? a joint initiative of NASA, USAID, and ICIMOD ? to build capacity on using EO and geospatial technology for effective decision making in the region. The book highlights SERVIR?s approaches to the design and delivery of information services ? in agriculture and food security; land cover and land use change, and ecosystems; water resources and hydro-climatic disasters; and weather and climate services. It also touches upon multidisciplinary topics such as service planning; gender integration; user engagement; capacity building; communication; and monitoring, evaluation, and learning. We hope that this book will be a good reference document for professionals and practitioners working in remote sensing, geographic information systems, regional and spatial sciences, climate change, ecosystems, and environmental analysis. Furthermore, we are hopeful that policymakers, academics, and other informed audiences working in sustainable development and evaluation ? beyond the wider SERVIR network and well as within it ? will greatly benefit from what we share here on our applications, case studies, and documentation across cross-cutting topics. 606 $aGeographical information systems (GIS) & remote sensing$2bicssc 606 $aEcological science, the Biosphere$2bicssc 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring$2bicssc 606 $aClimate change$2bicssc 606 $aPolitical economy$2bicssc 610 $aEarth observation 610 $aGeoinformation technology 610 $aAgriculture and food security 610 $aLand use land cover 610 $aFlooding and extreme weather 610 $aClimate services 610 $aService area planning 610 $aUser engagement 610 $aCapacity building 610 $aDisaster risk reduction 610 $aOpen Access 615 7$aGeographical information systems (GIS) & remote sensing 615 7$aEcological science, the Biosphere 615 7$aEnvironmental monitoring 615 7$aClimate change 615 7$aPolitical economy 700 $aBajracharya$b Birendra$01133838 701 $aThapa$b Rajesh Bahadur$01235633 701 $aMatin$b Mir A$01235634 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910494568603321 996 $aEarth Observation Science and Applications for Risk Reduction and Enhanced Resilience in Hindu Kush Himalaya Region$92869722 997 $aUNINA
