Climate scientists are now able to answer a substantial part of this question, and the projections they have for us are unsettling. Yet few people are aware of the findings of climate science due to an immense smokescreen of doubt which the fossil fuel lobby has raised around global warming research. These issues are dealt with in Global Warming and Political Intimidation: How Politicians Cracked Down on Scientists as The Earth Heated Up by Raymond S. Bradley (published by University of Massachusetts Press in 2010). Bradley is Distinguished Professor of Geosciences at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in the United States. Our modern world runs mainly on fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas; burning these produces carbon dioxide, which traps heat from the sun and causes global warming.

  • Notable Bird Records from Bangladesh from July 2002 to July 2013
    FORKTAIL 30 (2014): 50–65 Notable bird records from Bangladesh from July 2002 to July 2013 PAUL M. THOMPSON, SAYAM U. CHOWDHURY, ENAM UL HAQUE, M. MONIRUL H. KHAN & RONALD HALDER Details are given of 38 species new for Bangladesh which were recorded between July 2002 and December 2013. New sightings and information are given for a further 86 species that either have few records since 1978, or for which there have been major changes in known status, or for which there is uncertainty over status, or which are globally threatened and for which a status update for Bangladesh is warranted. In addition one species of doubtful occurrence is discussed, and the status of globally threatened and near threatened species is updated where appropriate. This period has seen an increase in the number of active Bangladeshi birdwatchers, several surveys for threatened species, the advent of digital photography to document sightings and, most recently, a series of ringing camps where mist- netting revealed the presence of secretive passerines in reed-scrub habitat in the north-eastern wetlands. INTRODUCTION Records in the following list are related to regions of Bangladesh (north-west, south-east, etc.). This geographical arrangement is a Since the summary of the status of birds in Bangladesh (Harvey revised version of the regions used in Harvey (1990) and the 1990), two papers (Thompson et al. 1993, Thompson & Johnson boundaries of these regions are shown in Figure 1, along with the 2003) have detailed notable bird records, and a carefully revised locations of the 92 sites mentioned in the text.

  • Chapter 5 Investigation of Deep Aquifers Main Report CHAPTER 5 INVESTIGATION of DEEP AQUIFERS
    CHAPTER 5 INVESTIGATION OF DEEP AQUIFERS Main Report Chapter 5 Investigation of Deep Aquifers Main Report CHAPTER 5 INVESTIGATION OF DEEP AQUIFERS 5.1 Core Borings 5.1.1 Purpose The core boring was performed to establish the basic subsurface stratigraphy. Focus was given particularly to the distribution of clay layers at the upper layer section and the thickness and continuity of clay layers in between the shallow and deep aquifers, as these are considered to significantly restrict arsenic contamination and groundwater flow. Detailed observation of core samples can provide precise information on facies, grain size, sedimentary structures, degree of consolidation, existence of particular minerals and fossils, etc. that cannot be obtained by the cutting samples of normal well drillings. Moreover, one of the most important purposes of core boring is to collect undisturbed core samples for core analysis. To reveal the mechanism of groundwater contamination by arsenic, arsenic content testing and arsenic leaching testing are very essential to know the source of contamination as well as the potential of contamination. For these reasons, the study team has paid special attentions to the core boring study. The drilling method and sampling method were carefully examined to collect as many reliable core samples as possible. 5.1.2 Locations The core boring was done at six (6) locations in the study area: three (3) sites in Pourashavas and three (3) sites in the model rural areas. In Chuadanga, Jhenaidah and Jessore Pourashavas, the core borings were performed at one of the drilling sites for a deep observation well by the study where the shallow groundwater is highly contaminated with arsenic.

A pre-designed and pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect the information and validated through organizing workshop. Single T. Aman cropping pattern was the most dominant cropping pattern in Khulna region existed in 17 out of 25 upazilas. Boro-Fallow-T. Aman cropping pattern ranked the second position distributed almost in all upazilas. Boro-Fish was the third cropping pattern in the region distributed to 17 upazilas with the major share in Chitalmari, Dumuria, Rupsha, Tala, Kalaroa, Mollahat, Terokhada, Bagerhat sadar, Fakirhat, Rampal and Phultala upazilas. Single Boro rice was recorded as the fourth cropping pattern covered 18 upazilas with the higher share in waterlogged area of Dumuria, Mollahat, Tala, Bagerhat sadar, Fakirhat and Rampal. The highest number of cropping patterns was recorded in Kalaroa (26) followed by Tala (24) and the lowest was reported in Mongla (5). The overall crop diversity index (CDI) for the region was 0.93. The highest CDI was in Tala (0.95) and the lowest in Dacope (0.42). The average cropping intensity (CI) of the Khulna region was 171% with the lowest in Mongla (101%) and the highest in Kalaroa (224%). Key words: Cropping intensity, diversity index, land use, rice-fish, and soil salinity INTRODUCTION and transport facilities, subsistence pressure and the growth of agro-industries (Neema, Large number of crops are grown under 1998; Gadge, 2003; Rashid et al., 2005).
