Anthropogeomorphology of Bhagirathi-Hooghly River System in India
暫譯: 印度巴哈吉拉提-胡格利河系的人類地貌學

印度的巴哈吉拉提-胡格利流域是世界上人口最稠密的地區之一，正經歷著由人類干預引起的自然景觀快速變化，例如水壩和攔河壩的迅速增長、森林砍伐和城市化。人類活動和對流域地形的干預，以及塑造這些地形的過程，已以驚人的速度加速。本書利用時空分析來理解土地使用和土地覆蓋變化上的主要人為特徵，以及這些活動對巴哈吉拉提-胡格利河及其子流域的地形和過程的影響。它回答了涉及的人為特徵的什麼、在哪裡、為什麼和如何。最近的案例研究探討了人為特徵對河流形態和過程的影響，使本書成為地球科學、地方政府、城市規劃者以及所有關心農村發展的學生和研究人員的有用資源。

特點：
- 首次探討流域的新概念——人為地貌學（anthropogeomorphology），這是一個新興領域
- 使用先進的地理空間建模技術分析人為活動，特別是水壩和水庫的建設以及城市化對主要河流景觀的影響
- 研究人類對河流系統的干預、其對河流動態的影響以及居住在河流沿岸的人民生計的影響
- 涉及地質學、地貌學、地理學、規劃、土地使用和土地管理等相關問題
- 滿足印度未來城市工業增長所需的數據驅動治理和政策決策的需求。
