Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The cryosphere (including, snow, glaciers, permafrost, lake and river ice) is an integral element of high- mountain regions, which are home to roughly 10% of the global population. Widespread cryosphere changes affect physical, biological and human systems in the mountains and surrounding lowlands, with impacts evident even in the ocean. Building on the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), this chapter assesses new evidence on observed recent and projected changes in the mountain cryosphere as well as associated impacts, risks and adaptation measures related to natural and human systems. Impacts in response to climate changes independently of changes in the cryosphere are not assessed in this chapter. Polar mountains are included in Chapter 3, except those in Alaska and adjacent Yukon, Iceland, and Scandinavia, which are included in this chapter.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This concluding chapter outlines some of the main contributions of the book and provide some potential directions for future research. It does this in the context of the response to COVID-19 and the history of previous challenges to growthism in tourism and broader economic thinking. The chapter highlights that the vulnerabilities, including in relation to global environmental change and global heating, are not necessarily new and that the need for degrowth type responses in various forms has been established for more than 50 years. Unfortunately, the key problem is as much one of political will and the embeddedness of narrow corporate interests in paradigmatic thinking, including tourism studies, rather than potential solutions.

Using Floodwater for Artificial Recharge and Spate Irrigation

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Floodwater harvesting (FWH) for artificial recharge of groundwater (ARG) and spate irrigation (SI) is the most widely practiced large catchment water harvesting technique. It has recently received renewed attention for research, improvement, and implementation. This chapter first introduces an innovative, locally adaptive, and improved FWH technique—floodwater spreading systems (FWS)—to guide policymakers and practitioners in the management of groundwater (GW) resources and efficient rain-fed agriculture in water scarce countries. This is done by evaluating the effects of a large-scale FWH system on a local aquifer. The chapter assesses the contribution of FWH to GW recharge and improved agricultural yield by introducing SI technique through FWH. In line with the GW modeling and recharge estimation, a three-year field study to investigate improved rain-fed agricultural yield in a FWS system using the SI technique is explained. Barley was tested as an indicator plant for crop yield.
