Research Statement: My research focuses on using geospatial tools and remote sensing to study coastal vegetation in Bangladesh. By combining data fusion techniques with the analysis of hydro-climatic factors, I aim to understand better how coastal ecosystems change over time. My work seeks to develop straightforward and reliable methods for tracking these changes, to provide valuable insights that can inform sustainable management practices, and to guide environmental policy decisions to protect vulnerable coastal areas. These innovative approaches are designed to be both accessible and practical, empowering researchers and policymakers to implement effective conservation strategies for the short and long term.
