Integrated Regional Climate and Hydrodynamic Modeling of Multi-Hazard Risks in Bangladesh
Integrated Regional Climate and Hydrodynamic Modeling of Multi-Hazard Risks in Bangladesh
Session ID#: 281838
Session Description:
Bangladesh is one of the most climate-vulnerable countries in the world due to its low-lying topography, dense population, and exposure to extreme hydro-meteorological hazards. Climate change has intensified the frequency and severity of cyclones, floods, heatwaves, and salinity intrusion, posing serious threats to ecosystems, agriculture, water resources, and human health. Regional Climate Modeling (RCM) provides a powerful framework to analyze localized climate processes with high spatial and temporal resolution. This study employs the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to simulate and assess climate extremes across Bangladesh for the period 2000–2025. By integrating numerical modeling with data-driven approaches, the research aims to evaluate cyclone dynamics, flood forecasting, heat stress, water level rise, and hydrodynamic processes. The findings will support improved climate risk management, adaptation strategies, and policy formulation for sustainable development in Bangladesh.
