The ORCID record identifies a current lecturer role in Environmental Science and Chemistry at Hamdard University Bangladesh and research affiliations connected with disaster, climate, and resilience studies. [1]

Research Profile

The documented profile indicates sustained engagement with environmental systems and applied geographic research. Areas represented in the record include climate-induced disasters, groundwater and aquifer use, land degradation, community adaptation, urban environmental quality, coastal biodiversity, and air-quality assessment. [1]

Research Contributions

The publication record demonstrates contributions across environmental monitoring, geospatial assessment, tourism sustainability, atmospheric pollution, land-cover change, and environmental health. Recent works include spatial analysis of northeastern Bangladesh’s Haor areas and research addressing air pollution and its environmental and public-health implications.[2]

Publications

Selected publications recorded through the supplied ORCID material demonstrate a broad environmental research portfolio. These include studies of tourism development and sustainability, air pollution in Bangladesh, land-use and NDWI changes, South Asian mangroves, and urban environmental quality. The listed works contain DOI identifiers that provide persistent routes to their respective scholarly records. [3]

Research Impact

The supplied Scopus metrics indicate 8 documents, 13 citations, and an h-index of 3. These indicators provide a quantitative snapshot of indexed research activity, while the subject coverage suggests relevance to environmental monitoring and sustainability challenges. The ORCID record also documents peer-review activity across environmental and public-health journals. [3]

Award Suitability

The documented combination of environmental research, interdisciplinary publication activity, geospatial expertise, and engagement with climate and sustainability themes provides a substantive basis for consideration under an Innovative Research Award. The assessment should remain evidence-based and should consider publication quality, methodological contribution, research influence, and continuing potential alongside bibliometric indicators.[3]

Conclusion

Jannatul Ferdos presents a developing environmental research profile centered on climate, geospatial analysis, sustainability, environmental health, and resilience. The available record supports recognition of interdisciplinary scholarly activity, while the continuing publication trajectory provides a basis for evaluating future research development and broader environmental contributions.
