Tariqul contributes to the teaching of the undergraduate programme in Geography. Tariqul’s teaching interests include: application of GIS, remote sensing, geodesy and spatial modelling in physical, human and environmental geography; particularly in climate change impact & adaptation; sustainable/ resilient development; landscape/ land-use change & detection; hazard & disaster studies; environmental planning & management.

The majority of Tariqul’s project work and research relates to linkage /comparison between climate change effects (e.g., by severe tropical cyclone, icescape thinning) and manmade disaster (e.g., Farakka Barrage on Ganges/Padma, Rohingya refugees’ settlement) on biodiversity and community, by combining quantitative (e.g., applying GIS, remote sensing, GPS, statistics, modelling) and qualitative (e.g., stakeholders’ perception) measures.
