The Sundarban is a deltaic complex created by deposition of sediments by the rivers of Ganga and Brahmaputra, forming the world's largest wetland ecosystem. Studies done in the past points out to the changing nature of erosion and accretion process of the Sundarban Islands. This change is brought by many factors which are both natural as well as anthropogenic like storm surges, sea level rise, rainfall patterns, land reclamation for agriculture and settlement, etc. An attempt is made to study the changes of the Sundarban land and resources. The study is confined only to the Indian part of the Sundarban. The analysis is performed to examine the change of area of few selected northern and southern islands of the Sundarban region over time from 1988 to 2016. An attempt is made to study the changes in temporal configuration of the Bhangaduni Island in the said period. Furthermore an attempt is also made to analyze, examine and predict the scenario of the Bhangaduni Island by statistical analysis based on mathematical modeling.
