  • - The study focuses on the degradation of the Chakaria Sundarbans mangrove forest in Bangladesh, using remote sensing techniques to monitor changes in land use and cover from 1972 to 2020.
  • - Over the decades, the mangrove forest area significantly decreased from 64.2% in 1972 to just 4.6% in 2020, while saltpan and shrimp farms increased concurrently, highlighting the impact of human activities.
  • - The research utilized various vegetation indices and achieved high accuracy in image classification, confirming a concerning decline in green vegetation due to anthropogenic activities like fish farming and salt production.

Rapid urbanization with an increasing rate of urban built-up area is decreasing urban green space resulting in changing urban microclimate conditions showing increasing land surface temperature. A better understanding of these effects is important to formulate effective strategies in addressing the impact of increasing built-up area. Land surface temperature patterns in an urbanized city in Bangladesh (Mymensingh district) were investigated using Landsat satellite sensor data from 1988 to 2016.
