Microplastics (MPs) are impacting coastal and ocean ecosystem and also have been linked with ‘blue economy’, which accounts major portion to the total economy of a nation. The ocean serves as a sink for MPs, receiving them from rivers, runoff, industrial effluents, and direct waste discharge. Consequently, marine organisms are impacted, leading to...

The Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) is highly vulnerable to drought, particularly in the context of climate change. Prolonged drought during the dry season has emerged as a significant natural disaster, severely affecting agriculture and socioeconomic development in the region. To enhance water resource management and agricultural productivity, this...

India is home to 11 % of the global urban population and is ranks as the second-largest urban system in the world. This study introduces a Heat Health Risk Index (HHRI) rankings for 37 major Indian cities with more than one million residents, using geospatial and socio-ecological data to identify potential heat health risk areas. In this study, the...

This study examines the spatial and temporal variations of key air pollutants in Rajsamand District, Rajasthan, from January 2015 to December 2019, using Sentinel-5P TROPOMI data. The pollutants analysed include carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), formaldehyde (HCHO), sulphur dioxide (SO2), methane (CH4), and aerosols. The findings reveal...

Drinking water sources with groundwater arsenic (As) contamination face multifaceted challenges in the removal and supply of fresh drinking water resources. To eradicate this problem, bioremediation has evolved to become more effective than other chemical and physical removal processes in its cost-effectiveness, high removal efficiency, and lesser...

Landslides are complex, dynamic processes influenced by erosion, weath-ering, tectonics, and gravity, triggered by various geotechnical, biological, miner-alogical, and hydrological factors. Detailed studies on landslide mechanisms typi-cally focus on specific high-risk cases. The stability of slopes and the physical and mechanical properties of...

With a total of 16 chapters, it provides a holistic picture of this pressing environmental issue. First, this book delves into the geological and hydrological factors that make the Himalayan region susceptible to landslides and employs advanced geophysical methodologies to improve future hazard assessments. Additionally, it examines the...

Mountainous regions around the world are at the forefront of climate change and natural disasters. The unique geomorphological features, diverse ecosys-tems, and climatic extremes of these areas create breathtaking landscapes; however, these same characteristics also make them hotspots for environmental hazards. The frequency and severity of...

The frequent climatic extreme events in Bangladesh’s coastal region significantly affected the local agricultural system. To meet the growing food demand, coastal regions must adopt climate-smart agricultural practices to sustain food production. This study examines the farmers’ behavioral determinants for adopting climate-smart agricultural...

This study evaluated the quality of groundwater in Chandrapur Taluka, Maharashtra, using geospatial techniques and data from 2014 and 2018. The study assessed various water quality parameters such as chloride, fluoride, pH, residual sodium carbonate (RSC) and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR). The findings showed that chloride concentrations were...
