The sea-level in the coast of Bangladesh is influenced by three main factors (Warrick, et al., 1996).

1) The level of the sea surface itself 2) Rates of sediment supply to the coast and its distribution and deposition 3) Long term deltaic subsidence from tectonic and isostatic forces.

A study by The SAARC Meteorological Research Council (SMRC) at three points from 1977-1998 data indicates that the Mean Sea Level (MSL) rise in Bangladesh is many fold higher than the global mean.
