Coastal Flooding - The Meghna Estuary - Click on image to open
The Bangladesh case study is the oldest case study I use. I use it because it illustrates the aweful impacts of tropical cyclones and their associated tidal surges. The country of Bangladesh illustrates many of the coastal topographical charactersitics that can influence the severity of coastal flooding. Finally the case study illustrates the wealth gap between developed and less developed countries. The 1991 cyclone was also the catalyst for change in Bangladesh. The international community were awakened to the terrible consequences of cyclones and this brought about significant change in funding and capacity building for cyclone management in Bangladesh.
Oceans http://greenfieldgeography.wikispaces.com/IGCSE+Coasts+and+GCSE+Coasts - It's the coasts page but look at the bottom of the page for information on coral reefs.
Water World
http://greenfieldgeography.wikispaces.com/IGCSE+and+GCSE+Weather%2C+Climate+and+Ecosystems - towards the bottom of the page - great information about the Sahel, drought and desertification
http://greenfieldgeography.wikispaces.com/IGCSE+and+GCSE+Energy%2C+Water+and+the+Environment - great page for looking at the hydrological cycle and the impact of water scarcity around the World.
Climate
http://greenfieldgeography.wikispaces.com/IGCSE+and+GCSE+Energy%2C+Water+and+the+Environment - great section on the page looking at global warming.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/climateexperiment/whattheymean/theuk.shtml - Future UK Climate change scenarios - detailed information and weather reports - great revision tool!
