Conclusions: The Dynamics and Complexity of Geomorphological Hazards in the Nepal Himalaya
摘要
The final chapter of the book describes the specifics of geomorphological hazards in the Nepal HimalayaNepal Himalaya-Nepal Himalayas. The destructive effects of the concentration of individual types of natural hazards of orogenetic and climate-morphogenetic origin in varied spatial and temporal scales are emphasized. The main conceptual and methodological challenges in the complex research of geomorphological hazards and risks in the extreme environments of the Nepal HimalayaNepal Himalaya-Nepal Himalayas are presented. In these contexts, physical geography and geomorphology are evaluated as promisingly developing fields of natural science that, together with other EarthEarth sciences, can contribute to a substantial reduction of serious social losses caused by natural hazards and disasters in the high mountain regions of Asia.
