The book Earthquake, Tsunami and Geology of Bangladesh presents a comprehensive account of the Geodynamics of Bangladesh. An introductory chapter gives an overview of Earthquake and Geology of the world. This is followed by a chapter on the general geology of Bangladesh in order to facilitate the readers on the basic geological and civil engineering aspects of the country as these relate to the occurrences of energy resources.

The devastations on the loss of lives and economy due to an earthquake in the developed countries like China and Japan is still large in spite of the appreciable advancement in earthquake research. It is needless to say that a catastrophic condition would emerge if a moderate to large magnitude earthquake occurs in an earthquake prone and most densely populated country like Bangladesh. It is well evident from the recent devastations due to 2005 Muzaffarabad Earthquake in Pakistan and 2010 Haiti Earthquake in Caravian Island. Although an earthquake will never be prevented yet the knowledge, wisdom and awareness of earthquakes will certainly minimise the loss of lives and property.

The book has been written primarily of university students, researcher in engineering, particularly those majoring in geosciences, civil and environmental engineering. The book can be used as a textbook for a semester long program/course.
