Himalayan Weather and Climate and their Impact on the Environment

The book "Himalayan Weather and Climate and their Impact on the Environment" offers a comprehensive and integrated synthesis of current knowledge about the dynamics of the Himalayas and their effects on physical systems and ecosystems. It addresses various relevant aspects, including weather and climate, paleoclimate, snow, glaciers, and hydrology, as well as ecological and forestry topics related to the Himalayas. The authors highlight the role of the Himalayas in defining local, regional, and global impacts on weather and climate. Additionally, the influence of the Himalayas on changes in glacier systems, permafrost melting, climate variability, and hydrological balances is discussed. This work serves as a significant overview for environmental and earth scientists, as well as for policymakers and stakeholders engaged with the physical and dynamic processes of the Himalayan massif.
