The eastern coastal region of Bangladesh, which has a 377 km-long coastline, is highly vulnerable to multi-hazardous events, such as tropical cyclones, coastal floods, coastal erosion and salinity intrusion. The vulnerability of this coastal region is likely to increase under the future climate chan...

Abstract The Brahmaputra River is one of the world’s largest sand-bed braided rivers with a channel belt up to 15 km wide, a mean channel depth of 5 m and maximum scour depths of up to 40 m. The recorded discharge varies by around 60 000 cumecs every year following the annual monsoon, producing dram...

The enormous delta of the Ganges-Brahmaputra River in Bangladesh, and surrounding areas of India, is the lifeblood for one of the largest populations on Earth. Decending from the Himalayan plateau to a lowland upper delta plain, the rivers experience rapid lateral migration, producing a patchwork of...

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...

Abstract The Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) Delta and its catchment area are shared between five countries which means that the delta is strongly influenced by neighbouring country’s water and sediment management decisions in addition to climatic, environmental and internal management. Delta admini...

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...

Clay minerals are significant indicators that can be used to identify sources and transport patterns of both fluvial and marine sediments. The Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Surma-Meghna (SM) rivers are the most important rivers of the Bengal Basin (BB), loading a large amount of sediments from the Himala...
