The main sources of fine particles in our cities are the exhausts of cars, trucks, buses, and offroad vehicles as well as other processes that involve the burning of fuels like wood, heating
oil, or coal, and natural ...
Agriculture is vital, and soil is a fundamental component with unique characteristics for different crops. This thesis research aimed to develop a deep learning-based system for soil type classification. It explores the ...
Fish is a vital protein source for billions worldwide, rich in essential fatty acids like omega-3s. Despite its nutritional benefits, it can harbor harmful bacteria, posing health risks if not handled or cooked properly. ...
More than 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by the ocean, making it the largest expanse (Costanza, 1999). The relationship between ocean ecosystems and global climate change is attracting much attention in recent years ...
Marine zooplankton play a fundamental role in driving the energetic transfer of marine production between the first and the third trophic level (Kiko et al., 2020; Lombard et al., 2019), and in controlling several ...
Agricultural landuse intensification increases the vulnerability of riparian forests to climate change impacts (and vice versa) in the Volta riparian countries including Ghana; requiring
comprehensive enforcement of ...
his brief highlights the current trend of increasing electricity generation from fossil-based thermal production in Ghana. A review of the need to change this trend with solar and wind energy as options was made. For ...
The Niger Basin is one of the most vulnerable hydrological systems where hydro-climatic changes is highly uncertain and changes in rainfall/runoff at the regional or local levels are inconsistent with projections; making ...

Agricultural livelihoods in West African smallholder farms are undermined by the continuous degradation of soil resources. Most smallholder farms are unable to replenish soil nutrients from the use of mineral nutrients due ...
Water stress is one of the risks emanating from worsening climatic variations. It poses serious threats on vulnerable continents, people and livelihoods globally.
Characteristics of temperature, carbon monoxide, spatial and temporal
distribution of urban heat island and its relationship with land use change
are very important tool for urban planning in the changing climate. In ...
Wild fires affect soil organic carbon stock positively and negatively. Emissions from these fires are toxic to both plant, animals and humans and when the concentrations are locally significant, they may contribute to ...
Doma forest reserve is under threat due to high anthropogenic activities and unsustainable land use practices such as the use of fire for land clearance, illegal logging and grazing. But the use of fire and cutting down ...

Charcoal is the main cooking fuel in Africa but its production characterized by the lack of formal policies that leave producers without any reliable framework resulted in changes in species composition and forest structure ...
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is one of the largest and active carbon pools. Soils in Africa have lost 136 gigatonnes of carbon between 1850 and the late 1990s and 33 % of carbon
lost was attributed to land degradation and ...
The development of appropriate and effective adaptation measures
require sufficient knowledge of climate change and it impacts.
Household coping and adaptation strategies are functions of complex
decision-making that ...
Though climate change has adverse effect on human wellbeing globally, Sub-Saharan Africans (SSA) are noted to be the most vulnerable due to their high dependence on rain-fed agriculture for food security and economic growth ...
Land and Sea Breeze (LSB) is a mesoscale phenomenon
influencing human life in coastal areas where most populated
cities and most industries are located, but neglected
in urbanization planning policies resulting in the ...
