Vulnerability of the Bay of Bengal to Ocean Acidification.
Hossain, M.S.; Chowdhury, S.R.; Sharifuzzaman, S.M.; Sarker, S.
Fossil-fuel combustion releases carbon dioxide
to the atmosphere, leading to a warmer
climate. Increasing atmospheric CO2 is changing
the global ocean’s chemistry, as one-fourth of the
anthropogenic CO2 is absorbed by the ocean. In
addition, ocean absorbs CO2 from the respiration
and breakdown of dead organic matter. When
CO2 dissolves in seawater, it forms carbonic acid,
decreasing both ocean pH and the concentration
of the carbonate ion.
The historical trends analysis showed an increasing
water temperature with a decreasing pH levels
over the period which may lead substantial effect
on the biodiversity of the Bay of Bengal. The
Institute of Marine Sciences and Fisheries (IMSF)
in Chittagong University have been contributed in
research and data generation from the coastal and
marine ecosystems of Bangladesh. In addition,
Bangladesh Navy, Bangladesh Inland Water
Transport Authority and Coast Guard have been
significantly contributed in hydrographical data
collection and monitoring of the shelf water of
Bangladesh in the Bay of Bengal.

Flow Topography Interaction in the Northern Indian Ocean: Ph.D research proposal, July 2016.
Su, Danielle
The overarching theme for this research project is to explore the dynamics and generation mechanisms of island wakes and their resultant eddies in the Northern Indian Ocean as well as their response to large scale Indian Ocean variability events, such as the Indian Ocean Dipole Mode (IOD). This information will contribute to the growing body of literature that will be critical in predicting the impacts of climate change, pollution, and implementing sustainable fisheries management for the Indian Ocean and its surrounding nations.
