Research Topic(s); 主な研究内容:
- Asian Water Development Outlook (2009-2011):
This is an undergoing ADB funded project for which I developed and design the research strategy to rank ADB member countries according to water-related disaster risk. With the results of our risk analysis and additional climate change information we designed key messages to the target audience, especially the head of the states. These messages are designed not only to create disaster awareness or improve mitigation but also help retain and protect past development gains and guide future development policy plans (please see AWDO KD5 and its Case Studies)
Comprehensive Disaster Management Plan for Bangladesh (2009-2011):
This research project is funded by PWRI with the aim of the development of the best countermeasure scenario against cyclone disasters in Bangladesh to minimize life loss. I am currently working on it and very soon the results will be published in a PWRI Technical Report. During this research project field studies were conducted together with the Bangladesh Water Development Board, CEGIS, JICA-Bangladesh and other partners. The Technical Note will recommend the best scenario to protect people at the time of cyclone disaster
Debris Flow Dewatering Break: A collaborative ADB funded project in the Philippines (2009):
I was partially involved in this project as an advisor for the construction of a Dewatering Break, an erosion control structure, on the way to Baguio in the Philippines. Also organized a seminar to educate Philippines professionals and later we had a week long training program organized by JICA where I was invited as a resource speaker to give lecture to the disaster managers of the Philippines on the techniques of disaster management, particularly erosion control
World Water Development Report 3 and its Side Publications (2007-2009):
I was the in-charge of any contributions to WWDR3 and its side publications and also used some contractors for data collection, analysis and production of maps. Attended UN Water meetings for the productions of WWDR3 and the contributions were sent for the publication in the WWDR3 which was published during the World Water Forum 5 in Istanbul, Turkey. At the same I also wrote a WWDR3 Side Publication entitled Global Trends in Water-Related Disasters: an insight for policymakers
Risk Factor Analysis of 1991 Cyclone Disaster in Hatiya Island, Bangladesh (2007-2008):
I was one of the members of the project team to conduct this research in Bangladesh. During this project we involved some consulting companies to collect data in the field and data analysis. A Technical Note is published in 2008 which outlines the cyclone disaster in Hatiya Island in 1991 and corresponding counter measures are recommended based on the results of our study
