In the article, what is the question or problem (issue) that the researchers are addressing? What specific discipline(s) are being used in the research? How will sea level rise affect the survival of tigers in the Sundarban mangrove forests?
The main issue that the researchers are addressing here is the threat the Tigers are facing in the Sundarban mangrove forests due to sea level rise (Loucks et al.). Climate change is the specific discipline which is being used in this research. Sea level rise, because of environmental change, debilitates the long haul steadiness of the Sundarbans woods and its biodiversity.
Where (and with whom) did they conduct the research and collect evidence?
They direct their examination at the SAARC Meteorology Research Center (SMRC) in Dhaka, where Bangladesh found an expanding east-west pattern ascend in ocean level for the Sundarbans.
What research Methods and materials did they use? Briefly explain each.
(Loucks et al.)They used a new sub-meter digital elevation model (DEM), with eight assessments of SLR to anticipate consequences for natural tiger surroundings and populace measure. They utilised an outspread premise addition work which powers the mounting surface to experience each information height point.
In what ways do they present the Results (findings) of their research? Explain one of the results more fully.
They present the Results (findings) in the form of a table containing data, in the form of figures containing images and in the form of graphs showing different variations. In a table, add up to natural tiger surroundings is ordered into high, medium, and low relative tiger wealth classes.
The Discussion is like a conclusion in which the researchers predict and offer policy implications. Summarize their conclusions. And — How does the discussion answer the original research question? What connection does this article have to climate change?
The ensured territory framework, which is situated on the offshore side of the Sundarbans, loses living space at by and large an indistinguishable rate from whatever remains of the Sundarbans.
Make sure you understand the importance of following terms — anthropogenic, geologic, sedimentation, tiger breeding, SLR & DEM.
The expression “anthropogenic” methods for, identifying with, or including the effect of people on nature. Geologic relating to the study of the earth’s physical structure and substance. Sediment is the matter that settles to the bottom of a liquid. While the Tiger breeding refers to the reproduction of tigers. SLR is the Sea Level Rise which is a severe climate change issue whereas DEM is the approach used for research stands for digital elevation model.
What does this natural science approach bring to your understanding of the Sundarbans? How is this different from the social sciences and humanities?
This natural science approach brings to my understanding of the Sundarbans that in the coming time sea level will rise more due to the climate change which is a threat for the Tigers in this forest. Natural science is different from social sciences and humanities because its focus is on understanding in natural phenomena based on observations.
How did the article supplement your understanding of The Hungry Tide?
The accomplishment of The Hungry Tide is in its investigation of a far darker and more mysterious wilderness, the human heart.
Now you can express your opinion or reaction based on what you’ve learned and based on your prior knowledge or experience.
I would say that the number of tigers are decreasing and their life is on threat because of the climate change which causes the sea level to rise.
