Geoenvironmental Dynamics, Climate Change and Anthropogenic Extremes:: Impacts and Case Study from the Hindu Kush Himalaya

This book explores the core of Physical Geographical Science, spotlighting its vital role in understanding Earth’s natural systems. Focusing on the Hindu Kush-Himalaya region-the “Third Pole”-it highlights urgent water quality issues amid climate change and human pressures. Introducing the Himalayan Mountain Water Health (HMWH) framework, it calls for integrated, science-based monitoring. Emphasizing tools like GIS, remote sensing, and modeling, the study repositions physical geography as key to sustainable environmental solutions.
