The climate over the Indian subcontinent is influenced by complex interactions between the atmosphere, ocean, and land, along with human interventions that are influencing heat extremes, changing monsoon patterns, sea-level rise, and posing serious threats to lives and livelihoods among populations in India. This book, based on recent studies and research, explains how and why the climate is changing across India and how these changes are expected to evolve in the future. It takes a holistic view of the climate from India's perspective and discusses important themes such as groundwater, land use, livestock, and natural disasters. Readers will have an in-depth understanding of impacts and possible adaptations.

Features

  • Includes case studies of groundwater and the effect of climate change.
  • Identifies land use and land cover changes in different regions in India.
  • Discusses the implications of past and present climate change on various livestock types.
  • Explains various natural hazards and their relationship to climate change.
  • Describes technological intervention in climate change.

Researchers, academics, and graduate students in Earth sciences, climatology, meteorology, or environmental studies working on projects related to climate change will find this an invaluable reference. Governmental organizations, institutions, and global NGOs will also benefit from the insights presented in this book.
