Biomass Burning and Its Relationship with Water Cycle Dynamics of the Chari-Logone Catchment of Lake Chad Basin
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
The present study investigates the effect of biomass burning on the water cycle dynamics of the Chari-Logone catchment, which is the primary water source of Lake Chad, in central sub-Saharn Africa, providing approximately ...
Data-Driven Modeling of the Lake Chad Basin Hydrologic Systems
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
The drying of the Lake, located in Central Africa, is one example of a water crisis,
which requires more research and studies. The lake has been progressively shrinking since the
1960s due to climate change and anthropogenic ...
Increasing Equitable Food Access Within Food Deserts in Urban Areas: A Case Study of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area
(2022)
There has been growing interest in the factors that contribute to poor health outcomes, particularly in areas where health disparities are pronounced. The locations of food deserts, or unhealthy food environments, correspond ...
Geostatistical analysis of land use/land cover changes and population growth trends in the Komadugu-Yobe River Basin in Nigeria
(University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2012-06-14)
The Komadugu-Yobe River located in northeastern Nigeria is an important tributary of Lake Chad. Since the 1970s, the Komadugu-Yobe basin has experienced significant changes in population density and land use/land cover. ...
Impacts of Precipitation, Land use Land cover and Soil type on the Water Balance of Lake Chad Basin
(2013)
the runoff from the agricultural land. The annual mean interception in LCB for the period 2003 - 2010 ranges from 0 - 63 mm with the mixed forest intercepting more water than open vegetation such as grass and shrub. Also the annual mean actual...
The Impact of Climate Variability and Land Cover Change on Groundwater Resources in The Niger River Basin
(2021)
from 2001-2013, the precipitation increased during the dry season by about 3%, but no significant change was observed during the wet season. The change in the LULC increased substantially in the areas dominated by agriculture, forests, and shrubs...
