Urbanization and the Heat Vulnerability Nexus in Dhaka South City Corporation (1995–2025)

Under Review2025

Tahia, F. J., Hossain, E., Saika, U., Ansari, M. N. A., & Reza, E.

J. Asiat. Soc. Bangladesh, Sci.

Overview:

The paper examines 30 years (1995-2025) of urbanization in the Dhaka South City Corporation, highlighting an increase in land surface temperature (LST) due to the expansion and reduction of some specific land use and land cover (LULC) cover types. It identifies wards that are at risk by the Heat Vulnerability Index (HVI) and suggests the implementation of various policies aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Shoreline change analysis and sustainable coastal management for Kutubdia Island: Trends, vegetation impact, and future projections

Accepted2025

Ecology Journal

View

Overview:

This study analyzes 36 years of shoreline changes (1988–2024) on Kutubdia Island using satellite data and geospatial tools. The results indicate significant erosion, with projections suggesting further land loss by 2044. The study emphasizes the importance of vegetation for coastal stability and recommends the restoration of mangroves, along with zone-specific management strategies, to promote sustainable coastal resilience.

Modeling community-driven conservation strategies for reducing the degradation of Chapaigachi Beel seasonal freshwater wetland in Bangladesh

Under Review2025

Rahman, Z., Islam, M. N., Siemens, A. R., Islam, M. S., Ahmed, I., & Hossain, E.

Wetlands

Overview:

This paper examines the decline of Chapaigachi Beel, a seasonal freshwater wetland in Bangladesh, and proposes a community-based conservation plan. It evaluates changes in the wetland's area, ecological health, and community dependency over the past thirty years using GIS and socio-environmental surveys. The proposed model emphasizes ecological, socio-economic, and governance aspects for sustainable management, aligning with Ramsar principles and UN SDGs.

This study models flood vulnerability in Narsingdi District by combining hazard exposure, socio-economic factors, and livelihood dynamics through GIS-based spatial analysis. The results identify high-risk areas where communities experience significant disruptions to their livelihoods. This highlights the need for targeted adaptation strategies and community-based disaster risk reduction efforts to enhance resilience.
