The author has identified the following significant results. Ground truth data collected in coastal areas confirm the sedimentation base line at five fathom depth and less. Forestry ground truth at Supati in Sunderbasn was found to conform with stratifications in aerial photos and in some satellite imagery.
The author has identified the following significant results. A land use map was prepared of Dacca-Narayanganj-Demra area on a scale of 1:50,000. LANDSAT imageries of Dinajpur and Rangpur districts were studied. The difference between the exposed Pleistocene red clay, this clay under alluvial cover, and recent alluvium were noted. Different types of soils, crops, etc. were delineated on the ERTS imagery.

The author has identified the following significant results. LANDSAT imageries of Mirpur area of Dacca district were used in connection with surveys for black plastic clay. The imageries showed the broad pattern of small valleys cutting into Madhupur clay. Land use maps of Haor areas of Sylhet and Mymensingh districts were prepared. As a test case, two thana areas, namely Nickley and Astogram, were classified in different categories such as crop, settlement, and water. It does not show much agreement with the Agriculture Dept.'s statistics.
The author has identified the following significant results. New lands for forestation were set aside in the coastal area of Bangladesh, based on LANDSAT mosaics (Chittagong - 195,000 acres, Noakhali - 450,000 acres, Barisal - 360,000 acres, and Patuakhali - 225,000 acres). LANDSAT imageries were used for identification of drainage patterns in both the old and and new Comilla district.

The author has identified the following significant results.Preliminary land use maps of Sunamgonj, Baniachong, and Srimongal areas in the Sylhet districts were prepared. Indication of new land in the southern Patuakhali district and Hatiya Island were found, and erosion in northern Hatiya Island is also indicated.
The author has identified the following significant results. Preliminary land use maps of Sunamgonj, Baniachong, and Srimongal areas in the Sylhet districts were prepared. Indication of new land in southern Patuakhali district and Hatiya island were found, and erosion in the northern part of Hatiya island is also shown.
The author has identified the following significant results. LANDSAT imageries have given positive indication of new land formation in the Bay of Bengal. A map of the bay region showing depth of new formations south of Patherghata test site was prepared. Winter crop estimation of the Sylhet-Mymensingh districts was made. This estimate shows an agreement of about 93% with 1973 data of the Agriculture Department. A preliminary land use map of the Sylhet-Mymensingh area using LANDSAT imageries in conjunction with aerial photographs and ground survey was also prepared.
