Sahel rainfall is dynamically linked to the global Hadley cell and to the regional monsoon
circulation. It is therefore susceptible to forcings from remote oceans and regional land alike …

The West African Sahel is well known for the severe droughts that ravaged the region in the
1970s and 1980s. Meteorological research on the region has flourished during the last …

This review study examines the state of meteorological drought over Africa, focusing on
historical trends, impacts, mitigation strategies, and future prospects. Relevant …

The hydrological cycle is expected to intensify under global warming, with studies reporting
more frequent extreme rain events in many regions of the world,,, and predicting increases …

The paper provides fresh empirical evidence on the adaptation process in Niger rural
communities using original longitudinal socio-economic panel data merged with granular …

The simulations of the fifth Coupled Models Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) strengthen
