PROJECT: 

URBAN AIR POLLUTION IN DHAKA:INTEGRATED MODELLING TO SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRANSPORT PLANNING IN DHAKA

Key Role

• Developed and managed geospatial databases and field data collection systems, including Google Forms, ward-level geocoding, road network preparation, blue/green space extraction, flyover digitization, and project area gridding.

• Conducted GIS-based spatial analysis and sampling design, including representative sample location selection, spatial data processing, mapping, and visualization using GIS and Google Earth Pro.

• Designed interactive monitoring dashboards for enumerator performance and sample location distribution to support real-time project monitoring and data-driven decision-making.

• Coordinated and monitored field operations, maintaining communication with field teams and tracking sample locations through Google My Maps to ensure accurate and timely data collection.

• Developed species distribution models using MaxEnt by integrating occurrence data with environmental predictors to identify potential habitat suitability zones.

• Conduct GIS-based spatial analysis and environmental modelling to support watershed assessment, flood risk mapping, and ecosystem monitoring projects.

• Process satellite imagery (Sentinel, Landsat) for land-use/land-cover mapping, flood extent analysis, and environmental change detection using ArcGIS, QGIS, and Google Earth Engine.

• Compile, clean, and standardize multi-source geospatial datasets including satellite imagery, GPS field survey data, and environmental datasets.

• Develop and maintain spatial databases, and metadata documentation ensuring data quality, traceability, and standardization.

• Produce high-quality thematic maps, spatial visualizations, and analytical outputs for environmental assessments, project reports, and technical publications.

• Support field data collection and GPS-based ecological surveys, integrating spatial and environmental datasets for analysis.

• Leads in technical reporting, spatial analysis documentation, and project deliverables aligned with project and donor guidelines.

• Ensure secure storage, backup, and organization of geospatial data for project monitoring and reporting.
