This is a comprehensive resource that integrates the application of
innovative remote sensing techniques and geospatial tools in modeling
Earth systems for environmental management beyond customary
digitization and mapping practices. It identifies the most suitable
approaches for a specific environmental problem, emphasizes the
importance of physically based modeling, their uncertainty analysis,
advantages, and disadvantages. The case studies on the Himalayas with
a complex topography call for innovation in geospatial techniques to
find solutions for various environmental problems. Features: Presents
innovative geospatial methods in environmental modeling of Earth
systems. Includes case studies from South Asia and discusses different
processes and outcomes using spatially explicit models. Explains
contemporary environmental problems through the analysis of various
information layers. Provides good practices for developing countries
to help manage environmental issues using low-cost geospatial
approaches. Integrates geospatial modeling with policy and analysis
its direct implication in decision making. Using a systems’ approach
analysis, Geospatial Modeling for Environmental Management: Case
Studies from South Asia shall serve environmental managers, students,
researchers, and policymakers.
