Accurate climate information at the appropriate spatial and temporal resolution is crucial for developing and providing tailored climate services for small islands. Dynamical downscaling of global climate models is commonly ...
Studying the vertical distribution of aerosol particles is essential for understanding their influence on the climate system. One way to evaluate this aspect of aerosols is to discriminate their source and optical properties ...
Environmental change and human activities are increasing anthropogenic particle loads in marine ecosystems, affecting phytoplankton growth and production. To understand how oligotrophic ecosystems respond to atmospheric ...
Seagrasses are unique aquatic plants that provide several vital ecosystem services, including erosion mitigation, habitat for fisheries, and carbon sequestration. Despite these plants’ significant role in the marine ...
Atmospheric nutrient input to the open ocean is a significant nutrient source that affects biological productivity and marine biogeochemistry. In this study, a 3-year time series (2017 –2019) of aerosol samples collected ...
Marine plastic debris represents a relatively new and increasingly abundant substrate for colonization by microbial organisms, although the total functional potential of these organisms is yet to be uncovered. The exponential ...
Seagrass beds are found in most of the world's seas except the Antarctic and provide important ecosystem services to both the marine system and local users. Despite recent and sporadic studies, the distribution and ecology ...
Blue sharks are oceanic epipelagic sharks in temperate and tropical waters. They are found off the coasts of all continents except Antarctica, in waters temperatures ranging from 12 to 20 °C and 7 to 25 °C. Indeed, water ...
Pelagic sargassum (S. fluitans and S. natans), originally from the Sargasso Sea, has been blooming every year since 2011 across the tropical Atlantic and in the Cabo Verde region. sargassum is an essential habitat for many ...
Climate change is thought to increase the vertical and horizontal expansion of oxygen minimum zones, either compressing the vertical habitat of pelagic fish or causing a shift in their distribution. However, it is unclear ...
The study aimed to compare the Morphological and Genetic characterisation of Mango tilapia, Sarotherodon galilaeus (Linnaeus, 1758) from Bafing and Bakoye rivers in Mali. One hundred twenty nine specimen were collected ...
The information on seagrass distribution is scarce in West Africa, which is needed for proper planning and management of seagrass meadows in the region. Accurate information on their distribution and abundance is required ...
Reanalysis data and regional downscaling using atmospheric models have become integral tools for assessing wind and solar energy potential in renewable energy simulations. This study leverages ERA5 reanalysis and the ...
Africa's abundant renewable energy resources position it to play a crucial role in achieving carbon neutrality and meeting climate targets. Green hydrogen, in particular, holds promise for clean energy generation, ...
The impact of changing climate on the potential streamflow for hydropower generation is a critical concern in Africa, specifically in the Genale Dawa III(GD-3) catchment in Ethiopia. This study aims to contribute to the ...
This study investigates the spatiotemporal distribution of decadal mean groundwater recharge (GWR) across Africa from 1965 to 2014. The analysis employs the Community Land Model version 5 (CLM5) as the reference dataset, ...
Hydrogen embrittlement remains a significant challenge in industries requiring high-strength materials operating in hydrogen-rich environments. This study examined the Investigation for the Response of High Strength Steel ...
The automotive industry is transitioning from traditional fossil fuel-powered vehicles to electric ones. This change aligns with the growing energy transition and may raise demand for vital metals like nickel and cobalt, ...
Electrochemical energy devices, including electrolyzers, batteries, and fuel cells, hold significant promise as sustainable solutions for energy storage and conversion. Among fuel cells, polymer electrolyte fuel cells are ...
With the rising use of contemporary, environmentally friendly technology, there is an increase in the demand for crucial commodities like scandium and rare earth elements (REEs) and other valuable metals, which necessitates ...
