A comprehensive resource to sustainability and its application to the environmental, industrial, agricultural and food security sectorsSustainability fills a gap in the literature in order to provide an important guide to the fundamental knowledge and practical applications of sustainability in a wide variety of areas. The authors – noted experts who represent a number of sustainability fields – bring together in one comprehensive volume the broad range of topics including basic concepts, impact assessment, environmental and the socio-economic aspects of sustainability. In addition, the book covers applications of sustainability in environmental, industrial, agricultural and food security, as well as carbon cycle and infrastructural aspects.Sustainability addresses the challenges the global community is facing due to population growth, depletion of non-renewable resources of energy, environmental degradation, poverty, excessive generation of wastes and more. Throughout the book the authors discuss the economics, ecological, social, technological and systems perspectives of sustainability. This important resource: Explores the fundamentals as well as the key concepts of sustainability;Covers basic concepts, impact assessment, environmental and socio-economic aspects, applications of sustainability in environmental, industrial, agricultural and food security, carbon cycle and infrastructural aspects;Argues the essentiality of sustainability in ensuring the propitious future of earth systems; andAuthored by experts from a range of various fields related to sustainability.Written for researchers and scientists, students and academics, Sustainability: Fundamentals and Applications is a comprehensive book that covers the basic knowledge of the topic combined with practical applications.

This book delves into the characterization, impacts, drivers, and predictability of atmospheric rivers (AR). The chapters help understand how these climate phenomena influence AR behavior, offering a nuanced perspective on climate modeling and prediction.

This book thoroughly examines aerosol pollution and aerosol atmospheric rivers (narrow corridors of concentrated suspended aerosols in the sky), exploring their significant effects on human health, the environment, and global climate.

In the face of unprecedented challenges in managing water resources, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a revolutionary force, reshaping the landscape of water conservation, treatment, irrigation, policy formulation, watershed management, and the monitoring of groundwater and surface water.

This book explores Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) in India, addressing the challenges and proposing solutions for the conservation of these critical ecosystems.

This book offers a comprehensive overview of water quality assessment and wetland health monitoring in India's Ramsar sites using remote sensing and artificial intelligence. Featuring detailed methodologies and case studies from both coastal and inland wetlands, it highlights innovative technologies and strategies for monitoring, restoration, and sustainable management. With a focus on practical applications, the book emphasizes the role of policy, technology, and community engagement in wetland conservation, serving as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers involved in ecosystem protection.

This book offers practical insights for researchers and policymakers to demonstrate how EO and ML can strengthen environmental monitoring to support informed decision-making, and advance sustainable development. The Earth faces rising challenges like climate instability, land degradation, water scarcity, rapid urban expansion, etc., making reliable environmental monitoring imperative. Traditional methods lack the precision and scale required for global environmental monitoring. However, advances in Earth Observation (EO) and Machine Learning (ML) enable accurate, large-scale environmental monitoring through accessible open-source datasets. Further ML integration with these datasets supports predictive analysis and detailed environmental assessments. Thus, this book outlines the principles of EO, data management, ML integration, and applies them through a case study of the Narmada River Basin, India to examine land use, pollution, and the overall environmental conditions.

In light of the novel corona virus outbreak in December 2019 and its subsequent impact on entire world as a global pandemic, the book attempts to provide integrated risk assessment on Covid -19 like pandemics, as well as to understand the societal, environment and economic impact of the outbreak in various sectors of development.

The edited book provides both fundamentals as well as key factors of climate change, extreme events and disaster risk management. Part 2 focuses on risk and vulnerability analysis; Part 3 focuses on risk remediation options; and part 4 suggests the role of sustainable planning framework on disaster risk management.

The edited book provides both fundamentals as well as key factors of climate change, extreme events and disaster risk management. It systematically describes the integrated risk of various hydro-meteorological extreme events. The book brings together broad range of topics including basic concepts, exposure, risk, resilience and vulnerability. In addition, it also analysis the impact of various disaster events on bio-diversity, local communities, ecosystem and agricultural food production. The motive is to define remediation strategies in the fields of resilient infrastructures, communication strategies and immediate public participation. The book is presented in four parts, where part 1 familiarizes with fundamentals of hydro-meteorological based disasters; Part 2 focuses on risk and vulnerability analysis; Part 3 focuses on risk remediation options; and part 4 suggests the role of sustainable planning framework on disaster risk management. This volume is of interest and use to professionals and researchers working in climate change, atmospheric sciences and disaster management.

The book is an inclusive comprehension on ecosystem restoration and sustainability including agricultural and ecosystem resilience, the role of biodiversity, climate change and water resources, hydrological modelling, extreme events, disaster risk and management, sustainable policy making on disaster management.
