The project is intended to establish methodological guidelines and step-by-step workflows for Earth Observation based assessments of coastal zone dynamics in Bangladesh, and train staff in developing early warning capacity for bank erosion attacks, which is one of the most significant risks from climate change.

Furthermore, the EO based workflows will allow stakeholders to increase the general understanding of the morphological processes in the coastal zone of Bangladesh and the impacts of climate change on these processes.

The project will contribute significantly to develop the technical ability of key stakeholders within relevant government agencies in Bangladesh, to conduct time-critical analysis of erosion/accretion processes and assessments of climate change impacts using advanced remote sensing methods.
