Advances in Geographical and Environmental Sciences synthesizes series
diagnostigation and prognostication of earth environment, incorporating challenging interactive areas within ecological envelope of geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and cryosphere. It deals with land use land cover change
(LUCC), urbanization, energy flux, land-ocean fluxes, climate, food security,
ecohydrology, biodiversity, natural hazards and disasters, human health and their
mutual interaction and feedback mechanism in order to contribute towards
sustainable future. The geosciences methods range from traditional field techniques
and conventional data collection, use of remote sensing and geographical
information system, computer aided technique to advance geostatistical and
dynamic modeling.
The series integrate past, present and future of geospheric attributes incorporating biophysical and human dimensions in spatio-temporal perspectives. The
geosciences, encompassing land-ocean-atmosphere interaction is considered as a
vital component in the context of environmental issues, especially in observation
and prediction of air and water pollution, global warming and urban heat islands. It
is important to communicate the advances in geosciences to increase resilience of
society through capacity building for mitigating the impact of natural hazards and
disasters. Sustainability of human society depends strongly on the earth environment, and thus the development of geosciences is critical for a better understanding
of our living environment, and its sustainable development.
Geoscience also has the responsibility to not confine itself to addressing current
problems but it is also developing a framework to address future issues. In order to
build a ‘Future Earth Model’ for understanding and predicting the functioning
of the whole climatic system, collaboration of experts in the traditional earth
disciplines as well as in ecology, information technology, instrumentation and
complex system is essential, through initiatives from human geoscientists. Thus
human geosceince is emerging as key policy science for contributing towards
sustainability/survivality science together with future earth initiative.
Advances in Geographical and Environmental Sciences series publishes books
that contain novel approaches in tackling issues of human geoscience in its broadest
sense — books in the series should focus on true progress in a particular area or
region. The series includes monographs and edited volumes without any limitations
in the page numbers.
