    Description: Publication year: 2011 Source: Journal of Hydrology, Available online 25 November 2011 Shahbaz Khan The sample papers collected in this special volume represent the interdisciplinary studies presented at a major international conference that took place in San Diego, USA, October 11 – 13, 2010 in collaboration with UNESCO’s International Hydrological Program (IHP) Hydrology for the Environment Life and Policy (HELP) network and the Elsevier Journal of Hydrology. This conference targeted the emerging interdisciplinary science themes at the interface between hydrology and other scientific disciplines, including climate change, biology, chemistry and social sciences. These subjects are of particular relevance to current global water crisis, since population increases and a changing climate is bringing new pressures on hydrological systems around the world. The papers presented at the conference focused on the following five interdisciplinary themes:•Hydrology and climate change.•Hydrology, bio-geochemistry and environmental management.•Hydrology, health and improved socio-economic conditions.•Hydrology, history and conflicts.•Hydrology: past, present and future developments.This effort has highlighted the need to further focus hydrological research at the interdisciplinary interfaces between biophysical, social and economic sciences to assist with evidence based legislation and policy making in real catchments while empowering stakeholders in pursuit of real answers.

    Description: Publication date: Available online 1 September 2017 Source: The Egyptian Journal of Remote Sensing and Space Science Author(s): H.A. Bharath, M.C. Chandan, S. Vinay, T.V. Ramachandra Metropolitan cities in India are emerging as major economic hubs with an unprecedented land use changes and decline of environmental resources. Globalisation and consequent relaxations of Indian markets to global players has given impetus to rapid urbanisation process. Urbanisation being irreversible and rapid coupled with fast growth of population during the last century, contributed to serious ecological and environmental consequences. This necessitates monitoring and advance visualisation of spatial patterns of landscape dynamics for evolving appropriate management strategies towards sustainable development approaches. This study visualises the growth of Indian mega cities Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai and Coimbatore, through Cellular Automata Markov model considering the influence of agent(s) of urban growth through soft computing techniques. CA Markov model is considered to be one of most effective algorithm to visualise the growth of urban spatial structures. Prediction of growth using agent based modelling considering the spatial patterns of urbanisation during the past four decades has provided insights to the urban dynamics. The industrial, infrastructural, socio-economic factors significantly influence the urban growth compared to the biophysical factors. Visualisation of urban growth suggest agents driven growth in the cities and its surroundings with large land use transformations in urban corridors and upcoming Industrial and ear marked developmental zones. Integrating local agents of urban growth help in identifying specific regions of intense growth, likely challenges and provide opportunities for evolving appropriate management strategies towards sustainable cities during the 21st century.
