Ganges Delta, Bangladesh
A tangled delta
This overview of the intricate Ganges Delta is one of countless finely detailed images available in the Microsoft Planetary Computer. This vast, cloud-powered database lets scientists see a whole timeline of crisp satellite captures and environmental data for any location in the world. By analysing this data, scientists can explore better ways to manage resources, combat climate change and track population growth. Here in Bangladesh, the need for better understanding of climate change is greater than ever, as rising sea levels pose a threat to as many as six million homes in the densely populated country.

This delta contains the Sundarbans, a swamp forest that's home to the Bengal Tiger.
