Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents relevant and contemporary research on the remote sensing of landscapes, agriculture & forestry, geomorphology, coasts & oceans, natural hazards and wild habitats. It highlights the application of remote sensing in understanding natural processes and oceanic features, as well as in creating mapping inventories of water resources across different spatial and temporal scales. Recent advances in hyperspectral imaging and high spatial resolution offer promising techniques for exploring various aspects related to the fruitful and cost-effective monitoring of large-scale environments. In the field of forestry and agriculture, the book addresses topics such as terrain analysis, forest management, updating current forest inventories, and vegetation cover type discrimination. It also elaborates delineation of various geo-morphological features of the earth’s surface and natural disasters, and includes a special section on the remote sensing of wild habitats. Readers working in interdisciplinary sectors engaged in remote-sensing-based research benefit from the techniques presented.

Download or read book Advancing Environmental Justice for Marginalized Communities in India written by Alan Diduck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-17 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary collection examines social equity and environmental justice in India. It assesses the effectiveness of environmental policies and institutions in rendering justice for marginalized communities while ensuring protection of the environment. It also analyses the influence of the neoliberal state and its political economies on the development and outcomes of these policies and institutions. The book provides a unique perspective on environmental justice because of its consistent emphasis on social justice, rather than the prevailing predominant analyses from legal or environmental perspectives. It explores the themes of effectiveness and equity as they pertain to public policy instruments, such as environmental impact assessment, environmental licensing and enforcement, public hearings, and environmental activism strategies. The four interlinked dimensions of environmental justice, namely recognitional justice, procedural justice, distributive justice, and restorative justice, provide the core of the book’s conceptual framework. The contributions draw on ideas and methods from development studies, environmental geography, environmental law and policy, natural resource management, public administration, and political economy The book concludes by considering planning, policy and institutional reforms and community-based initiatives that are needed to promote and protect environmental justice in India. Offering an important reference for researchers and scholars, this book will appeal to those in law, geography, environmental studies, natural resource management, development studies, sociology, and political science. It will also be of interest to community-based researchers, environmentalists and other civil society activists, natural resource managers, and policy makers.

Download or read book Environmental Scenario in India written by Sacchidananda Mukherjee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India has moved along an impressive growth path over the last decade, marked with falling share of agriculture, stagnating manufacturing, expanding services segment, growing trade orientation, enhanced FDI inflows etc. The consequent growth implications are obvious as far as the numbers like GDP growth rate and Per Capita GDP trend are concerned, but how sustainable the associated development is with respect to resource management and environmental governance? This book captures the economy-wide impacts of various activities on environment in India. The environmental impacts on water, air, soil quality and human health are captured through case studies from different parts of India. Analyzing separately the concern areas within agriculture (cultivation, aquaculture), manufacturing (industrial pollution, power generation), services (waste management, bio-medical waste, e-waste recycling) and external sector (agricultural trade, FDI inflow, trade in waste products) performance of India, the book attempts to find an answer to that crucial question. The methodology adopted to capture the environmental impacts of various economic activities is derived from the relevant branches like environmental economics, agricultural economics, and water resources economics. The book, focusing on particular sectors, indicates the concern areas and possible ways for enhancing environmental governance.

Download or read book Pollution And Biodiversity Biosocial Aspects written by Arvind Ed Kumar and published by . This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental regulatory agencies in certain states are authorized to ban the production, sale, use of certain chemicals disposal of certain wastes, or the use of certain production processes or waste management practices. Similarly mandatory banning or reduction of toxic substances has been proposed for implementation in some states. Policymakers could also lower concentration thresholds for allowable emissions and effluents of specific pollutants. Lowering concentration thresholds might reduce the cost of pollution prevention relative to generating and treating the waste to acceptable levels. Care must be taken, however, to ensure that facilities are not diluting the waste to achieve the new threshold or shifting it to another medium. This book is a pioneering attempt in the field of Biosocial Environment. It will be highly useful to students of Environmental Sociology, Environmental Engineering, Environmental Economics and also to Biological Science students, researchers and teachers.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Municipalities all over the world are facing serious crises from all types of pollutions (air, groundwater, soil, and water). Soil contamination is a common problem worldwide. In the past decades industrial activities have caused many types of ground contamination in urban areas. The existence of these lands and their impact on human health and the environment has led the provincial administration to apply restrains in reusing of contaminated sites (Brownfield) and to revitalize the whole sectors of the urban area. The efficiency of all investments in remediation of the contaminated sites and the living environment relies on a powerful and transparent environmental management and environmental impact assessment (EIA). A fast and applicable tool is essential for EIA or exposure analysis to identify and prioritize the contaminated sites for any management decision. In this thesis hierarchical fuzzy inference system (HFIS) was applied, and a tool was developed to introduce the critical environmental and geo-environmental factors for decision making purpose. In this technique the most pertinent factors and parameters involved in heavy metal contamination in topsoil were used to develop a powerful tool. The developed tool permitted the making of environmental decisions regarding identification of the heavy metal vulnerability in the top soil. The validation of the result of this method was satisfactory. The developed tool was applied to GIS in a case study for the Montreal Island to identify the high sorption areas and their impact on public health.
