RESEARCH INTEREST: Contaminant Hydrogeology Stable Isotope Geochemistry Environmental

EDUCATION: M.S in & , University of Dhaka, (1st Class 4th) 2011 Thesis Title: Effect on Hydrogeology due to Longwall Mining activity in Barapukuria Coal Basin, Dinajpur, Bangladesh. B.Sc (Honours ) in Geology,University of Dhaka (1 st Class 6th ) 2009

3. WORK HISTORY: Year: April 2011 to April 2012 Project: Sustainable Arsenic Mitigation Project (SASMIT) Organization: NGO FORUM (employed under NGO FORUM component of SASMIT Project) Position held: (Full Time) Location: Bangladesh Activities performed: • Collected and reviewed existing data from all relevant sources to make a preliminary assessment and to identify the data gaps. • Assessed union wise safe water access for whole Matlab area based on the tubewell screening information available with NAMIC/BAMWSP database. • Assessed village wise safe water access based on information available from Arsenic contaminated tube-well surveyed under AsMat Project and thereby made a priority list of all the villages to rank the need of Arsenic safe tube-wells. • Completed Vertical Electric Soundings (VES) covering entire Matlab area and delineated a gross subsurface lithologic and stratigraphic sequence to delineate the aquifer systems of the project area. • Selected sites, supervised test borings up to a depth of 800 feet, constructed borelogs from the collected sediment samples, designed test wells and piezometers, supervised installation of 36 Piezometers at different depths and different locations of the project area. Md. Golam Kibria 2

• Monitoring groundwater levels at all 36 Piezometers to determine the hydraulic characteristics of the aquifers. • Collected water samples from all wells operating by SASMIT, analyzed samples for Arsenic, major ions and trace elements and interpretations are being done using the analyzed results to relate the occurrence of arsenic with geological materials and other chemical parameters. • Measured some water parameters (temperature, EC, pH, ORP, Arsenic) on site using field equipments in all above mentioned wells. • Collected borelogs from completed and ongoing other projects in Matlab and using all the logs constructing 3D model of subsurface system to delineate the aquifer geometry of the project area, emphasizing the delineation of the targeted oxidized aquifer. • Contributed in report writing.

Year: June 2010 to March 2011 Organization: Department of Geology, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh Position held: Research Assistant Location: Bangladesh Activities performed: • Help the professor for Planning the Environmental Impact Assessment of mine west disposal and geological survey for the underground tunnels and slope development of Barapukuria coal mine, Bangladesh. • Analysis and evaluating the investigatory boreholes drilling data, logging and pumping test for present scenario. Evaluating the soil and rock condition of sub surface for future development work. • Study of Hydro-geological and Mineralogical condition of mineable area. Instant test of pH inrush water in underground. Temperature monitoring and Temperature graph plotting for further research work. • Geological survey for the Open Pit mine development and planning for the development work for future development workings in Open Pit. • Contributed in report writing.

Year: February 2010 to May 2010 Project: Geological Exploration for the Identification of Mineral Resources and the areas Vulnerable to Natural Hazards in the Coastal Parts of Bangladesh. (Ref. No. GSB/proc/CM- 43/2010) Organization: Ancient Artifact (A Geotechnical Engineering Firm), Dhaka, Bangladesh Position held: Well Site Geologist (Part time) Location: Bangladesh Activities performed: • Site selection using GPS and location map of Google Earth. • Supervise exploratory drilling and scientifically sample collection. Prepared lithological logging including SPT values and reporting of geological Bore Holes. • Compared the Processed out puts with some conducted Borelogs in order to justify the efficiency of Geophysical Surveyed Data. • Identified every 5 feet Sample lithology, calculated its geotechnical possibilities and geological history from the whole bore log deposits.

Year: October 2009 to April 2010 Project: “Seismic Hazard and Vulnerability Assessment in the Khagrachari, Bandarban and Rangamati district town areas, Bangladesh” funded by United Nation Development Program (UNDP). Organization: Department of Geology, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh Position held: Field Geologist (Part Time) Location: Bangladesh Activities performed: • Selected the suitable locations for different type of Geophysical Surveys (i.e. Resistivity Soundings, Resistivity Profiling and Shallow Seismic Survey) conducted it at three locations (i.e. Khagrachari, Bandarban and Rangamati Districts) in Bangladesh for the depth of Bed Rocks at this area. • Processed and interpreted all the data acquired by Surveys using the different software and analyzed those obtained Survey data for this three different location. • Available borelog data were collected for those particular areas and compared the analyzed results with borelogs for the validations of VES interpreted results. • Conducting the Shallow Seismic Survey by setting up all required equipments at field level and handling the micro-tremor both in single and triangular array for earthquake vulnerability assessment. • Contributed in report writing

Year: October 2009 to April 2010 Project: “Re -testing of a subset of Deep hand Tube wells from Southern Bangladesh” Assigned by Environmental Health Unit, World Health Organization, Bangladesh. Organization: Department of Geology, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh Position held: Field Hydrogeologist (Part Time) Location: Bangladesh

Activities performed: • Collected and reviewed existing data from all relevant sources to make a preliminary assessment and to identify the data gaps. • Monitoring groundwater levels at all wells include in the revisit list to determine the hydraulic characteristics of the aquifers. • Collected water samples from all wells operating by DPHE more than 800 feet above, analyzed samples for Arsenic, major ions and trace elements and interpretations are being done using the analyzed results to relate the occurrence of arsenic with geological materials and other chemical parameters. • Measured some water parameters (temperature, EC, pH, ORP, Arsenic) on site using field equipments in all above mentioned wells. • Contributed in report writing
