Review: Learn GIS in One Page by Dr. Mrinmoy Majumder

Click here to purchase Learn GIS in One Page is a compact, learner-oriented introduction to Geographic Information Systems that tries to demystify GIS by presenting its core ideas in a highly condensed, visually supported format. Rather than overwhelming beginners with software menus and technical jargon, the book focuses on what GIS is, why location matters, and how spatial information can be used to understand and solve real-world problems. Concept and structure The book is described as a “video book” or v-book, where a single reference page is supported by short video lessons that walk the reader through key GIS concepts and examples. This hybrid design is well suited to self-paced learning: the page provides a quick conceptual map of GIS, while the videos offer step-by-step explanations and demonstrations. veryshorttermcourse.substack +2 The material is explicitly aimed at beginners from any discipline, with an emphasis on simple language, easy-to-follow examples, and practical pr...

Call for Papers Special Issue: Impact of Climate Change on Virtual and Green Water in Arid Watersheds

The International Journal of Hydro Climatic Engineering invites original research articles, critical reviews, technical notes, and case studies for a forthcoming Special Issue on “Impact of Climate Change on Virtual and Green Water in Arid Watersheds.” Arid and semi-arid watersheds are particularly vulnerable to climate-driven shifts in precipitation, evapotranspiration, drought frequency, land-use dynamics, groundwater dependence, and agricultural water demand. These changes directly affect green water—the soil moisture available for vegetation and rain-fed production—and virtual water—the water embedded in agricultural, industrial, and traded products. Understanding the interconnected roles of climate variability, watershed processes, food production, trade, and water allocation is essential for strengthening water, food, energy, and ecosystem security in water-limited regions. This Special Issue seeks to advance interdisciplinary research, modelling approaches, decision-support tool...
