Modeling the Impact of Climate Change on the Dynamics of Rift Valley Fever
(Hindaw, 2014)
A deterministic SEIR model of rift valley fever (RVF) with climate change parameters was considered to compute the basic reproduction number and investigate the impact of temperature and precipitation on . To study the ...
Comparison of different statistical downscaling methods for climate change rainfall projections over the Lake Victoria basin considering CMIP3 and CMIP5
(Journal of Hydro-environment Research, 2016)
In this study, outputs of three statistical downscaling (SD) methods including the change factor (Delta), simplified (simQP) and advanced
(wetQP) quantile-perturbation-based approaches were compared based on daily rainfall ...
How well do climate models reproduce variability in observed rainfall? A case study of the Lake Victoria basin considering CMIP3, CMIP5 and CORDEX simulations
(Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2019)
In this study, how well the climate models reproduce variability in observed rainfall was assessed based on General
Circulation Models (GCMs) from phase 3 and phase 5 of the Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project, i.e., ...
Aquatic ecosystem changes in a global biodiversity hotspot: Evidence from the Albertine Rift, central Africa
(Journal of Biogeography, 2019)
Determine the extent to which remote, high‐altitude (Afroalpine) aquatic ecosystems
in tropical Africa have been impacted by global and regional‐scale environmental
change processes.
Location: Two volcanic crater lakes ...
African food insecurity in a changing climate: The roles of science and policy
(Food and Energy Security, 2019)
African population is projected to double to 2.48 billion people by 2050. The population
increase poses a serious challenge of increasing food supply to meet the future
demand. This challenge is compounded by climate ...
Trend and magnitude of changes in climate variables and reference evapotranspiration over 116-yr period in the Platte River Basin, central Nebraska–USA
(Journal of Hydrology, 2012)
Some studies that investigate the climate change and hydrologic balance relationships utilize reference
(potential) evapotranspiration (ETref) to either calculate the changes in trends and magnitude of actual
ET or to ...
A meta-analysis of urban and peri-urban agriculture and forestry in mediating climate change
(Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2015)
This paper systematically reviews literature on urban and
peri-urban agriculture and forestry (UPAF) in mediating climate
change. The study includes both peer-reviewed and grey
literature (274 literature sources), and ...
Implications of climate variability and change for African lake ecosystems, fisheries productivity, and livelihoods
(Journal of Great Lakes Research, 2016)
Inland fisheries are important for nutrition, employment, and income, but climate variability and change are adding
to other stressors, such as overexploitation, pollution, habitat degradation, and invasive species, to ...
Fishers’ perceptions of climate change, impacts on their livelihoods and adaptation strategies in environmental change hotspots: a case of Lake Wamala, Uganda
(Environment, Development and Sustainability, 2016)
Fisheries resources support livelihoods of fishing communities but are threatened by over-exploitation, habitat degradation, pollution, invasive species and climate change. Unlike the other threats, climate change has ...
Past, Present and Future Climate Trends Under Varied Representative Concentration Pathways for a Sub-Humid Region in Uganda
(Climate, 2019)
Long-term trend analysis at local scale for rainfall and temperature is critical for detecting
climate change patterns. This study analysed historical (1980–2009), near future (2010–2039),
mid- (1940–2069) and end-century ...
