West Africa plays key roles in global climate and shows one of the strongest variations in
hydro-climatic conditions. As it turns out, the region appears to be underrepresented in the …

Whilst considerable research has been carried out to understand the effects of reforestation
on evapotranspiration (ET), such studies are generally absent in the Sahel even though the …

The need for ideal drought metrics to explore the impacts of climate variability drivers on
drought intensity and characteristics is essential to provide support that leads to optimizing …

This paper evaluates the atmospheric controls contributing to actual evapotranspiration (ET)
variability and trends across the ecological zones in the data-scarce region of West Africa …

The knowledge of interactions between oceanic and atmospheric processes and associated
influence on drought episodes is a key step toward designing robust measure that could …

In large freshwater river basins across the globe, the composite influences of large-scale
climatic processes and human activities (eg, deforestation) on hydrological processes have …

The poor investments in gauge measurements for hydro-climatic research in Africa has
necessitated the need to investigate how decision makers can leverage on sophisticated …

Evapotranspiration (ET) from tropical forests serves as a critical moisture source for regional
and global climate cycles. However, the magnitude, seasonality, and interannual variability …

A considerable number of independent case studies have shown the explicit role of rainfall
and soil moisture as drivers of surface vegetation dynamics. However, the weak relationship …

Enjoying the potential climate benefits of restoration requires linking key forest-water and
land-atmosphere interactions to the existential benefits provided on the ground. We apply …
