What We Study

Core Research Areas

From coastal field sampling to high-precision elemental analysis — our work spans applied geochemistry.

Coastal Geochemistry

Trace-metal contamination, sediment chemistry, and salinity dynamics along Bangladesh’s coastal zones.

Environmental Chemistry

Heavy-metal pollution in water bodies, agricultural soils, and ecosystem bioavailability.

Disaster Vulnerability

Geochemical risk indices for flood- and cyclone-prone areas supporting early-warning systems.

Elemental Analysis

INAA & XRF workflows for major and trace element quantification in geological matrices.

Sedimentology

Grain-size analysis, mineral composition mapping, and sediment transport dynamics in the delta region.

Climate & Geo-risk

Linking geochemical fingerprints to climate variability and long-term environmental change in South Asia.

Radioactivity

Measuring natural and anthropogenic radionuclide concentrations (Ra, Th, K, Cs) in soils, sediments, and water to assess radiological hazard indices.

Heavy Metal Pollution

Spatial distribution, source apportionment, and health-risk assessment of toxic heavy metals (Pb, Cd, As, Cr, Cu, Ni) in aquatic and terrestrial environments.

Methodology

Lab Processes

Rigorous methodology from field collection to discovery.
