In the context of increasing climate change and variability, reliable climate seasonal forecasts play critical role in agricultural planning. Recurring droughts, erratic rainfall, and limited adaptive capacity in the Sahel ...
Previous studies on climate change projections over West Africa did not include the influence of on-going forestation activities on future climate extremes over the region. The present study aimed to examine the potential ...
A lot of research has been done to understand and improve the relationship between
land use and land cover modification vis-a-vis their interaction with the West African
climate variability and climate change. However, ...
This research evaluates the ability of Weather Research and Forecasting model
physics in simulating the West African monsoon. The purpose is to identify a possible
model physics combinations in the WRF model whose outputs ...
Land Use Land Cover (LULC) in Sub-Sahara Africa has undergone rapid transformation
in the last century. So comprehending the impact of land use land cover change and its
interaction with the atmosphere by means of modeling, ...
This study provides baseline data and analyses of the evolution of carbon dioxide emissions in the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector in Ghana, focusing on the Bobiri Forest Reserve and fringe areas. ...
Rainfall is a major ingredient for economic development for most West African countries. It has serious implications on the socio-economic activities because more than 95% of its agricultural activities are rainfed and ...
Many West African countries are plagued with a poor electricity supply. However, an abundance of solar irradiance and sufficient wind speed over the region makes solar and wind energy attractive solutions to the problem, ...
This study investigates the potential impact of climate change and variability on electricity
demand under different Global Warming Levels (GWL1.5, GWL2.0, GWL2.5, and
GWL3.0). First, to assess the sensitivity of electricity ...
This study addresses one of today's most pressing issues: the impact of climate change on migration, with a particular focus on internal migration in Burkina Faso. The research first examines the factors influencing migration ...
Cattle corralling is an essential traditional soil fertility management practice with potential for enhancing agricultural productivity and climate resilience in resource-constrained farming systems. This study aimed to ...
Assessing the impacts of anthropogenic land use and land cover change (LULCC) on climate extremes is crucial for understanding the complex interactions between the land surface and the atmosphere, significantly influencing ...
The prevalence of industries as well as the presence of the harbour and airport, and the upsurge in economic activities due to the oil discovery have made Sekondi-Takoradi one of the preferred cities for many people and ...
Overreliance on solid fuels, especially fuelwood and charcoal has contributed enormously to Nigeria's growing rate of deforestation. As part of efforts to curb deforestation, and climate change and have a sustainable cooking ...
In the Central River Region (CRR) and Upper River Region (URR) in the Gambia, forests, woodlands, and agroforestry systems have long sustained local livelihoods. However, increasing agricultural expansion, changing land ...
The influence of land use/cover (LULC) and climate changes on hydrological processes are not fully understood in data-scarce regions such as the Ouémé River Basin, Benin. However, this is crucial for sustainable water ...
The interplay of climate and anthropogenic pressures has led to significant degradation of vegetation in many regions, leading to land degradation and affecting ecosystem services. While evidence of land degradation is ...
This study analysed the spatiotemporal dynamics of carbon stock and vegetation in two key areas of Côte d’Ivoire: the Lamto Scientific Reserve (LSR) and the Lokoli Ecofarm (EFL), from 1990 to 2022. The results highlight a ...
research investigated agricultural land use change in the lowlands of Southern Mali under climate variability. Four supervised classification techniques, Classification and Regression Tree (CART), Support Vector Machine ...
Soil erosion by water has become a worldwide issue due to its environmental and socioeconomic impact in the light of rising concerns over climate change. To minimize the impact of soil erosion by water in West Africa, ...
