This book focuses on the potential natural resources of Bangladesh from Precambrian to recent times and their detailed geological background. Natural resources and their management are important for the sustainable economic development of a country. Focusing on the geological setting of the Bengal Basin, Bangladesh Geosciences and Resources Potential introduces and comprehensively describes the depositional environments, status and prospects of the potential natural resources of Bangladesh. Individual chapters outline the potential resources comprising a wide range of deposit types across the country. A selective overview of these natural resources-metallic minerals, coal, limestone, hydrocarbon, peat, placer deposits, surface, groundwater and so forth-is provided with relevant references. The book gives a synthesis of the issues in the mineral, hydrocarbon and water resource sectors from a resource-economic perspective.

FEATURES

  • Provides a geoscientific knowledge of the potential natural resources with relevant maps, figures and tables pertaining to the Bangladesh region

  • Explains the resource-economic context, geomorphology and sustainable land use and the effects of climate change on both surface water and groundwater resources

  • Discusses resource potentials based on systematic geological stages

  • Presents the resources of renewable energy and discusses how to increase their use and effectiveness

  • Reinforces basic geological processes and outcomes with an understanding of resource geology and constraints on natural resource management

This book is aimed at researchers, graduate students and professionals in geology, energy and mineral resources, hydrogeology, water resources engineering, the environmental sciences and resource exploration and planning.
