Tanjida is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree (third year) in oceanography and is passionate about the study of coastal dynamics and ocean-atmosphere interaction. She has a keen interest in applying GIS and modelling techniques in the assessment of changes in these complex systems, particularly the change in coastal areas—shoreline changes, Land Use and Land Cover

Kausik is an assistant professor in the Department of Geography, Vidyasagar University, India. He is involved in interdisciplinary research and teaching river geomorphology, sedimentology, hydrology, river regulations, climate change, transboundary river water-sharing and governance, ecosystem services, and the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus. He uses remote sensing and GIS techniques, hydrological modelling, ground-penetrating radar, and field surveys

Deboleena is a doctoral scholar at the OKDISCD, presently nearing completion of her PhD. With a background in political science (bachelor’s, master’s, and M.Phil.), her research focuses on the socio-political and economic dynamics of the India-Bangladesh borderlands. She has presented her work at conferences in India, Thailand, and Kyrgyzstan and contributed research articles and book

Mamun is pursuing his MS in Oceanography at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Bangladesh. He is keen to work in marine ecology, especially plankton dynamics. Additionally, he is eager to gain knowledge in statistical techniques, data analysis, and solving complex problems using marine ecological data alongside various oceanographic parameters. He is also interested in

Tahura Farbin is a lecturer-cum-research associate at the Center for Sustainable Development (CSD) with a transdisciplinary background bridging law, environmental studies, and sustainability science. Her work focuses on sustainability, climate justice, climate-induced loss and damage, migration, and political ecology. She has contributed to the DICE project at the Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies (LUCSUS)

Dr. Prateep’s academic background is in political science, environmental studies, and international development. He does transdisciplinary work with an active interest in combining social and ecological perspectives. Prateep’s research focuses on the understanding of complex human-environment connections (or disconnections) with particular attention to change, its drivers, their influence, and possible ways to deal with them.

Nadim is a fourth-year oceanography student who specializes in studying physical oceanography, particularly how the ocean interacts with the atmosphere and influences the weather and climate. He is proficient in GIS, developing machine-learning and numerical models of the ocean and climate, and also in remote sensing. Nadim strongly supports the FOSS (free and open-source) community
