Md. Alamgir Hossain is an Oceanographer and passionate researcher in marine science, currently serving as a Research Officer at Nirmol Welfare Foundation of Bangladesh (Nirmol Bangladesh) since 2021. With a strong academic background, he earned his Bachelor's degree in Oceanography (CGPA 3.56) in 2020 and his Master's degree in Oceanography (CGPA 3.75) in 2023, both from Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Maritime University, Bangladesh.

Driven by an unwavering commitment to advancing knowledge in climate science and marine ecosystems, Alamgir has accumulated over three years of hands-on research experience. His expertise spans coastal and estuarine dynamics, climatological variability, ocean modeling, ecosystem assessment, water quality monitoring, and the use of cutting-edge technologies such as GIS, remote sensing, and programming.

Alamgir's research interests lie at the intersection of remote sensing-based oceanography, climate change projection, and polar oceanography. He is particularly focused on improving remote sensing data accuracy through advanced modeling and assessing the impacts of climate change on coastal communities. His work is vital in understanding critical challenges such as sea ice dynamics, air-sea interaction, and coral reef conservation.

In addition to his scientific pursuits, Alamgir has been actively involved in capacity building, training, and advocacy, reflecting his dedication to community resilience and sustainable coastal management. His efforts aim to support Bangladesh’s adaptive strategies to climate change, one of the nation’s most pressing concerns.

As a founder of the Trishnatur and initiator of One Day for the Nation (a program of Nirmol Bangladesh), Alamgir combines leadership with his scientific vision, spearheading initiatives in ecosystem health assessment, coastal vulnerability mapping, and marine spatial planning. His dedication aligns with global goals, particularly the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG-13: Climate Action and SDG-14: Life Below Water), striving to make impactful contributions at national and regional levels.

Alamgir is also a recipient of several fellowships and awards, with peer-reviewed publications and presentations in international conferences. His long-term vision is to become a leading scientist, contributing significantly to sustainable development and the resilience of coastal and marine ecosystems in the face of climate change.
