Abstract Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to flood hazards, and its risk projected increase with global warming. In addition climate change, internal variation, such as the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), influences flooding in many rivers worldwide. However, impact of variability on remains unclear due limited observations. Here, we assess impacts ENSO change occurrence using a large-ensem...

Bangladesh’s heavy minerals deposits in river systems remain largely unexplored with past research restricted to beach placer along the south-eastern coastline of country. In this study, 64 samples were collected from stable sand bars northern Brahmaputra River. The average total (THM) all sample sites was 10.73 wt%, THM concentrations generally highest at outermost edges and lowest within mid-...

The Brahmaputra is one of the largest river systems South Asia, providing life-supporting services to about 70 million people. Massive flooding, land erosion, over-exploitation water, excessive fishing, habitat degradation and fragmentation, exploitation flood plains, climate change impacts, absence integrated basin wide management, transboundary cooperation are major challenges for present fut...

The Ganges–Brahmaputra Delta is one of several delta regions around the world that is sinking as the weight of its cities and industries combines with overextraction of natural resources from soft sedimentary deposits.
