Science, Policies and Conflicts of Climate Change
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-16256-5 (ISBN)
This collection of articles captures and disseminates contemporary perspectives on climate change from an Indian context. Starting with an argument on a new climate deal which highlights the importance of policies and regulations within the climate change debate, some of India's best-known geologists, meteorologists, climate scientists and archaeologists have put forward their concerns and convictions in this collection. The book covers articles on climate change scenarios, impacts, policies, regulations and protocols as well as geopolitical and geoeconomics implications of climate change over the Indian sub-continent including climatogenic vulnerability analyses of sea level rise (SLR) and crop production assessment.
The geological perspectives of climate change over the Indian sub-continent are covered, along with highlighted climate impacts on the chemical weathering and maturity of sediments as well as on the manganese mineralisation in manganiferous quartzitein the Boringpadar-Amath area. The evolution of the monsoon, the most significant event of tropical belt is addressed through lake's and river's sediments, assessing the anthropogenic influences. Climatic conditions reconstructed through Quaternary alluvial sediments as proxy indicator of past climatic conditions over the Indian sub-continent are presented. There is also a separate chapter on the role of cosmic radio nuclide in paleoclimatic reconstructions. The inter-relation of climate change and tectonics over the Indian sub-continent is also covered, while the geopolitics on the conflicts of climate change have been discussed in the larger perspective of the South-Asian region.
Dr. Khare has an excellent academic career having all through First Class. He has a very distinctive acumen not only of administration but also of quality science and research. Dr. Khare has more than 30 years of experience in the field of paleoclimate research using paleobiology (paleontology) / teaching / science management /administration / coordination for scientific programmes (including Indian Polar Programme), etc. Dr. Khare has been conferred as Honorary Professor and Adjunct Professor by many Indian universities.
