Detailed Description

In recent years, the Sundarbans Delta has faced numerous accelerating climate-related challenges, including rising sea levels, island erosion, and increasing temperatures. These changes have had far-reaching effects, particularly on economically disadvantaged and marginalised communities residing in the area. To provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the Indian Sundarbans delta, we conducted a brief field study, examined available peer-reviewed scientific literature, and consolidated data from various sources to shape a compelling narrative. We designed relevant visualisations that engage and inform the user. Our target audience is the general public, who read national English newspapers and possess a basic understanding of science, mathematics, and geography. The expected outcome is a website that presents the story and effectively conveys insights through interactive data visualizations. Our aim is to increase awareness about the ecologically significant Sundarbans and foster the audience's understanding of the impacts of climate change.
