The Indian Sundarbans, together with Bangladesh, comprise the largest mangrove forest in the world. Reclamation of the mangroves in this region ceased in the 1930s. However, they are still subject to adverse environmental influences, such as sediment starvation due to migration of the main river cha...

The total blue carbon stock of the Bangladesh Sundarban mangroves was evaluated and the probable future status after a century was predicted based on the recent trend of changes in the last 30 years and implementing a hybrid model of Markov Chain and Cellular automata. At present 36.24 Tg C and 54.9...

The population dynamics of Hilsa was investigated by using FiSAT II software of FAO on length based data, was collected from the three main fish landing centers of West Bengal between June 2010 and March 2011. The asymptotic length (L8) was 477.75 mm and the von Bertalanffy Growth Function (VBGF) gr...

River deltas globally are highly exposed and vulnerable to natural hazards and are often over-exploited landforms. The Global Delta Risk Index (GDRI) was developed to assess multi-hazard risk in river deltas and support decision-making in risk reduction interventions in delta regions. Disasters have...

Mangroves provide a range of ecosystem services ranging from mitigation of global climate change by carbon capture to the sustenance of local communities whose livelihood depends upon mangrove forest products. A hybrid model is used to analyse and project the spatial distribution of mangrove species...

Sundarban, the single largest chunk of mangroves spread across the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) delta in India and Bangladesh, is ecologically significant for its diversity and ecosystem services, and experiencing different bio-geo-physical impacts due to the on-going climate change. This study s...

In Bangladesh, climate change variations have made haor communities more vulnerable in socioeconomic aspects. Thus, people face several hazardous situations and take adaptive measures to counter this socioeconomic vulnerability. This present study aimed to thoroughly understand these issues and port...

This dataset contains water quality data across rivers and ponds in the Vietnamese Mekong River Delta (MRD), Vietnamese Red River Delta (RRD) and Bangladeshi and Indian Ganges Brahmaputra Meghna (GBM) Delta. The main objective of this work was to establish a baseline database for water quality, cove...
