The marine ecosystems are extremely productive and highly valuable, with importance for the overall health of both marine and terrestrial environments. However, climate change and intensive exploitation of natural resources ...
The coast which serves as an intermediary between land and the ocean is subject to variable sea level from a scale of seconds to centuries. This study quantifies the drivers for coastal sea level variability of Cape Verde. ...
The Grand Saloum (Saloum Delta Reserve in Senegal and Niumi Park in The Gambia) is the first African Transboundary Ramsar Site Complex. Ecosystems in this complex were disrupted by a major extreme event (Storm) in 1987. ...
Data from 10039 specimens of Gymnothorax vicinus (Castelnau 1855), commonly known as black moray eels, were sampled on the islands of São Vicente, Santa Luzia, and Santo Antão, between 2002 and 2020. The series of morphometric ...
The transfer of organic particles to midwater depth is an important factor that supplies
organisms at depth with food and for the functioning of the entire marine ecosystem.
Zooplankton are key species to contribute to ...
The aim of this study was to assess and quantify the plankton distribution in the Cabo Verde region and determine how eddies do affect its productivity. This was done using acoustic measurements conducted at sea utilising ...
The Cabo Verde archipelago is located in the Eastern Tropical North Atlantic between oligotrophic open ocean waters and the productive coastal upwelling of the Canary Current System. The Cape Verde region features were ...
The marine ecosystem dynamics in climate change is a growing scientific, political and social concern requiring regular monitoring through appropriate observation technologies and studies. Thus, a wide range of tools with ...
In this study, the Marine Gravitational Energy Storage (MGES) potential was evaluated, and the concept of multi-criteria decision analysis was adopted to classify Cabo Verde’s waters into zones of suitability and quantify ...
Beaches worldwide are plagued with problems associated with coastal erosion and degradation. In the Gambia, coastal erosion is a significant challenge exacerbated by the increasing pressures of climate change and sea-level ...
The coastal areas are characterized by constant change due to the dynamic interplay be-tween the ocean and the land surface. Waves, seas, and winds appear as crucial factors in a continuous erosion and sediment deposition ...
Togo's economy is based mainly on agriculture, which represents 40% of the country's GDP. Therefore, like most West African countries, Togo is highly vulnerable to extreme climate events, remarkably rainfall variability. ...
This Master Thesis aims to build understanding of the factors causing migration in the Dano watershed area. For better understanding, the study analyses the vegetation dynamics as an important environment factor and linked ...
Climate, weather events and land dynamics play a major role in pastoral management. This study examines various adaptation strategies used by herders in the Velingara Ferlo area of Senegal in the face of multiple effects ...
Sustainable development implies the need for emerging potential energy sources which do not produce adverse effect to the environment. The aim of this study is to assess biogas production sustainability and environmental ...
Kano State is faced with increasing air and surface temperature caused as a result of the continuous development activities, constructions and influx of people to the state. The study therefore analyses the development of ...
Climate change and variability are worldwide phenomena and their impact is different in nature from one region to the other. In that context, this study focused on the assessment and prediction of climate variability impact ...
The aim of this research work was to assess implications of climate and land use/land cover changes on pastoral resources and practices of herders in Kompienga province. The climatic data (1981-2016), Landsat images ...
African countries are highly vulnerable to climate change, especially climate extremes.
Heat Waves (HW) (prolonged extreme heat over an area) are projected to become very
long and more intense in the upcoming decades and ...
This study assessed the climate change impacts to streamflow and energy production in Shiroro Hydro power dam, located in a Guinean savannah zone in Niger State, Nigeria. Rainfall (1981-2015), streamflow (1990-2014), ...
