    Abstract: This book proposes a unique and comprehensive integrated synthesis of the current understanding of the science of Himalayan dynamics and its manifestations on physical systems and ecosystems at different spatial and temporal scales. 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.

    The Future of Atmospheric Oxygen (2020)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Physical geography. ; Atmospheric science. ; Environmental monitoring. ; Environmental chemistry. ; Pollution. ; System theory. ; Earth System Sciences. ; Atmospheric Science. ; Environmental Monitoring. ; Environmental Chemistry. ; Pollution. ; Complex Systems.
    Description / Table of Contents: 1. Introduction -- 2. Oxygen in the past -- 3. Oxygen at present -- 4. Oxygen in future -- 5. Solutions? -- 6. Questions.
    Abstract: This book investigates various aspects of the phenomenon of atmospheric oxygen depletion, and summarizes our current knowledge of atmospheric oxygen. The authors address the currently available records indicating that atmospheric oxygen is undergoing nonlinear decline. The consensus in the research community is that the main reason for this decline is the combustion of fossil fuels (which is growing nonlinearly). However, the short length of the currently available records, alongside the technological and social uncertainties that may risk speed up oxygen depletion, raise questions about the time scale of the decline, in particular, when oxygen depletion may cause physiological impact on humans and animals. The authors analyze this uncertainty to postulate the near term impact of depleted atmospheric oxygen, and perform multidisciplinary complex modelling of oxygen with long-term horizon estimations.
