Al Jubaer, MSc (GIS & RS) — River People Planet

Biography

Al Jubaer is a GIS Specialist, Remote Sensing Expert, Data Scientist, and Web Developer with 780+ completed projects spanning GIS, Remote Sensing, Graphics Design, Data Science, and Web Development (as of August 2025). As co-founder of River People Planet, Al Jubaer combines technical expertise in geospatial technologies with a deep passion for river conservation and storytelling.

He leads the digital and visual production of the River People Planet platform — building interactive maps, data visualizations, and documentary-style video content that brings river stories to global audiences. His technical work includes drone aerial documentation of Bangladesh's major river systems (Jamuna, Padma, Sundarbans), interactive web mapping using Leaflet and MapBox, machine learning applications for satellite imagery analysis, and the complete technical development of the riverpeopleplanet.com platform.

Al Jubaer has co-authored peer-reviewed research with Professor Sheikh Tawhidul Islam of Jahangirnagar University, published in the International Journal of Disaster Resilience in the Built Environment (Emerald Insight, 2022) — focusing on waterlogging mitigation and safe water supply in Basirhat Municipality, India. His portfolio at aljubaer.pages.dev showcases his broad expertise across GIS analysis, environmental mapping, data science and web development.
