Water Quality in the Third Pole: The Roles of Climate Change and Human Activities offers in-depth coverage of water quality issues (natural and human-related), the monitoring of contaminants, and the remediation of water contamination. The book's chapters assess years of research on water quality and climate change in this fascinating and scientifically important region. Topics addressed include climate change impacts on water qualities of freshwater bodies, such as glaciers, lakes, rivers and precipitation. In addition, the book explains the growing concerns over water quality, such as mercury, trace elements, major ions, persistent organic pollutants and their circulation.
As such, it is an essential reference for academics and policymakers interested in the water quality of natural bodies.
Dr. Chhatra Mani Sharma completed his PhD from Norwegian University of Life Sciences in 2008 and was ranked as "Top 20 Researchers? at the university based on his contributions to the science. Currently, Dr. Sharma's research work has focused on aquatic pollution in Europe and Asia (particularly in the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau). He has published more than 35 peer-reviewed papers published in domestic and international journals, such as Environmental Science & Technology, Environmental Pollution, Science of the Total Environment, Environmental Earth Sciences, Water Air & Soil Pollution, Environmental Chemistry & Toxicology, Bulletin of Environmental Contamination & Toxicology, Atmospheric Environment, Limnology etc. Having an i10-index 15 and h-index of 11, his publications have cited more than 400 times. Dr. Sharma has received some awards to conduct high standard scientific research, for example, "Young International Scientist? award from the Chinese Academy of Sciences
in 2009. He worked in collaboration with Prof. Shichang Kang at the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research (CAS) in the area of aquatic pollution across the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau. He was also awarded Postdoc Researcher at Lappeenranta University of Technology, Finland through Finnish Academy of Sciences in 2013. He has collaborated with researchers from six countries globally. Currently, he is a Visiting Scientist at Chinese Academy of Sciences as President's International Fellowship Initiative (PIFI).
