Mangroves are an important ecosystem-based protection against cyclonic storm surge. As the surge moves through the mangrove forest, the tree roots, trunks, and leaves obstruct the flow of water. Damage to adjacent coastal lands is attenuated mainly by reducing (i) surge height, which determines the ...

This study highlights the coastline position changes of Qingdao coastal area from 2000 to 2019, using GIS and remote sensing technologies through Digital Shoreline Analysis System and LANDSAT images. Understanding the coastline movement by suitable method is an important challenge for this extremely...

Most of the coastal cities in Bangladesh are situated on the riverbanks of low-lying tidal zones at an average elevation of 1.0–1.5 m from the sea level. Construction and management of buildings, roads, power and telecommunication transmission lines, drainage and sewerage and waste management are ve...

Coastal zones are physically, socially, and economically important. However, many coastal zones are highly vulnerable to coastal erosion due to high population density, tourist attractions, developed economy, and lowland. Erosion vulnerability assessment with limited criteria and components cannot p...

Since the 1960s, ~5000 km2 of tidal deltaplain in southwest Bangladesh has been embanked and converted to densely inhabited, agricultural islands (i.e., polders). This landscape is juxtaposed to the adjacent Sundarbans, a pristine mangrove forest, both well connected by a dense network of tidal chan...

Bangladesh is one of the most geomorphologically active countries situated within the World's largest basin of the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM). The physiographic settings of the southward coastal areas of Bangladesh is completely exposed to the sea posing vulnerability to natural hazards whereas...

Seasonal and tidal variations in nutrient concentration and water quality were investigated in the western Sundarbans of Bangladesh during the post-monsoon, winter and monsoon seasons during 2010–2011. Water collected from the surface, middle and bottom layers at six locations of the Kholpetua-Arpan...

The dynamic shoreline of Bangladesh was analyzed for the last thirty years in this study, in order to identify the positional changes due to erosion and accretion. Remotely acquired, multi-temporal Landsat images, of 30 m resolution and comparable tidal conditions, were collected for the period 1989...

In the Ganges-Brahmaputra (G-B) delta, periodic flooding of the land surface during the tidal cycle coupled with enormous sediment delivery during the monsoon promotes sediment accretion and surface elevation gain through time. However, over the past several decades, widespread embankment (“polder”)...

This paper draws upon the application of GIS and remote sensing techniques to investigate the dynamic nature and management aspects of land in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. The geomorphological characteristic of the coastal areas is highly dynamic where land erosion and accretion with different r...

Coastal Bangladesh is one of the hotspots of tropical cyclone’s landfall in South Asia. A spatial vulnerability assessment is required to formulate disaster risk reduction strategies. This study develops a comprehensive tropical cyclone vulnerability mapping approach by applying Fuzzy Analytical Hie...
