Riverbank erosion is a significant issue in Bangladesh, particularly along the major rivers. Natural factors such as seasonal floods, bar movement, and human interventions like bank protection work and river channelization contribute to this ongoing challenge.Â
To assess the dynamics of river systems, my research employs the following techniques:
1D and 2D Morphological Modelling
Erosion and Deposition Analysis
Hydrodynamic and Sediment Transport Modelling
Thalweg Shifting Analysis
Floodplain Dynamics
Channel Morphology Changes
River bar dynamics are central to understanding river morphology, sediment transport, and flow patterns - particularly in the complex river systems of Bangladesh. Influenced by seasonal floods, sediment deposition, and human activities like dredging, bar formation and migration affect navigation, flood risk, and erosion. My research focuses on the processes driving bar development and movement, using:
2D morphological and sediment transport modeling
Erosion and deposition analysis
Bar stability, age, and braiding index analysis
Propagation and settlement of avulsion activities in the Brahmaputra -Jamuna River in Bangladesh.
I am deeply interested in river avulsion processes, particularly in large braided river systems like the Brahmaputra. My research explores how avulsions - rapid shifts in river course - reshape floodplains and influence long-term river morphology. In my study in 2024, I reconstructed the avulsion history of the Brahmaputra River during the 19th century, highlighting a rare instance of multi-channel, multi-avulsion-driven course alteration. This work emphasizes the scale, complexity, and geomorphic significance of avulsions in megadelta environments like Bangladesh and contributes to understanding their implications for hazard management and river system evolution.
