Climate change and Himalayan Informatics is an account of dedicated contribution for the above imprints. Impact of climate change is examined in this book for the ongoing process of rapid urbanization of the hinterlands of Himalaya. It consists four sessions and seventeen chapters. Mass balance of glaciers in Chandra basin of Himalaya is presented as a predictive tool for spatially distributed estimates of mass balance of glaciers. An effective tool to identify and locate multiple natural hazards due to climate change in Himalaya especially landslides and glacial lake outburst flood GLOF is part of the book. Impacts of climate change on cropping strategies by mountain communities are ascribed in the session socio-economic perspectives.

Climate Change and Himalayan ecosystem indicator bio and water resources consists basic information and data on glaciers climate change indicators and projections water resources and biodiversity hot spots of Mount Himalaya. Studies on Climate change and the recession pattern of the glaciers in the Himalaya of this book concludes that Possibility of the rivers in the Himalayas drying up as a consequence of rapid degeneration of the glaciers is not borne out by the past history. In this book study conducted in watershed of Central Himalaya, a decision support system (DSS) is introduced as interactive tool that understand the problem and explores various courses about water demand and supply management to help decision makers. Himalayan foreland basin derivatives hold records of climatic changes in response to monsoonal circulation.

It is the most dynamic existential threat to be faced by the humanity. Changing climate is bringing about rapid changes in the environment. This book presents authoritative contributions from national and international researchers on pattern of change in climate variables and their environmental consequences. Book covers the consequences of change in climate variables both to physical and biological environments. It also discusses the possible impact on livelihood options of the people and identifies the feasible mitigation and adaptation options available to the planners and administrators. The book presents the specific case studies carried out in different environmental and ecological conditions to demonstrate the signs of climate change impact on environment and methodological approach that can be adopted to address these issues scientifically. This book is a baseline reference for researchers, environmentalist, planners, policy makers as well as administrators who are concerned with the future of the planet Earth.

Natural calamities and geo hydrological hazards occur in this regime due to rapid uplift of Himalaya and the under thrusting of Indian Plate and other extreme climatic disturbances. The book Climate Change and Himalaya- Natural hazards and mountain resources presents the resources of Himalaya along with the potential natural hazards. It consists twenty two chapters from researchers working in different institutions with multi disciplinary approach. More than seven hundred glaciers were monitored and discussed in one of the chapter of this book. Recently, Indian Himalayan Region was rocked by a chain of calamities occurred due to cloudburst , excessive rain fall followed by flash floods and landslides during June 2013. This is one of the initial scientific attempts to understand the above natural calamity. Urbanisation of mountain and sustainable utilisation of mountain resources are discussed in this book.

Marine and Coastal Biodiversity, Sea level Rise Vulnerability, Fisheries, Climate Change Impact on Livelihood Options, Water and Sanitation in Island Ecosystem and Mitigation, Adaptation and Governance are the focal themes.  The basic concept conveyed in the book is that biodiversity of islands is to be protected as a natural mechanism to mitigate climate change. Probability recurrence of mass coral bleaching and the management of coral reefs and their future protection are discussed in this book. Marine Productivity and Climate Change for the last ten thousand years in the Arabian Sea have been examined with core records. Green technology is suggested as an important tool for mitigation and adaptation programmes in Climate Change. Measures taken to project Biomass utilisation of Islands as an energy source is delineated. Climate Change will have a potential threat on human health. Improved sanitation packages and models that are cost effective and environment-friendly for Islands  are uniquely presented in this book.
