The book explores uniquely endangered habitats and emergent templates of survival against rising seas and climatic disturbances with particular focus on the Bengal and Malabar coastlines. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA critical, transdisciplinary contribution to the study of climate change in South Asia, \u003ci\u003eTerra Aqua\u003c\/i\u003e examines salinity and submergence, coastal erosion, subterranean degradation, and the depletion of littoral lifeways impacting marine communities and biospheres. It will be of particular interest to scholars of environment studies, ecology and climate change in the Global South, hydrology, geography, ocean and island studies, environmental justice, colonialism, and imperial and maritime history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSudipta Sen\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor of history and Middle East\/South Asia studies, University of California, Davis.
