Activities

1. Doing Master's Thesis on Coastal Upwelling.

Overview: My current research focuses on coastal upwelling within the Bay of Bengal (BOB). By analyzing satellite data and conducting oceanographic measurements, I aim to investigate coastal upwelling in the EEZ of Bangladesh.

Research Objectives:

a. To identify and characterize coastal upwelling events within the EEZ of Bangladesh in the Bay of Bengal.
b. To assess the spatial and temporal variability of coastal upwelling intensity and frequency in the study area.
c. To investigate the relationship between coastal upwelling and key oceanographic parameters, such as sea surface temperature, chlorophyll-a concentration, and nutrient levels.
d. To examine the potential impact of coastal upwelling on marine biodiversity and fisheries productivity in the region.

2. Conducted a term paper entitled "A Primary Investigation of Seasonal Upwelling Zone along
the Exclusive Economic Zone of Bangladesh."
