Conclusions: the dynamics and complexity of geomorphological hazards in the Nepal Himalaya (Jan Kalvoda).  aThe book offers a wide range of research topics that are addressed with the aim of contributing to the knowledge of geomorphological hazards in the Himalaya. It is emphasized the integration of climate-driven morphogenetic and tectonic processes in the Nepal Himalaya as a substantial phenomenon of active collisional orogeny. The extreme dynamics of landform evolution in the Himalayan terranes triggers severe natural hazards and risks. Interdisciplinary research of geomorphological processes and events related to natural hazards in the Nepal Himalaya follows general efforts to reduce geoenvironmental disasters. Visual documentation is of particular importance in the conception of the book, which is intended for specialized researchers as well as students. . 0aGeomorphology. 0aPhysical geography. 0aEnvironment. 0aNatural disasters. 0aGeology.14aGeomorphology.24aPhysical Geography.24aEnvironmental Sciences.24aNatural Hazards.24aGeology.1 aKalvoda, Jan.eeditor.0(orcid)0000-0002-2789-54951https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2789-54954edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aNovotná, Eva.eeditor.0(orcid)0000-0001-9973-25321https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9973-25324edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303158420608iPrinted edition:z978303158422008iPrinted edition:z9783031584237 0aGeoenvironmental Disaster Reduction,x2946-572940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-58421-3
