Comparison of Methods to Derive the Height‐Area Relationship of Shallow Lakes in West Africa Using Remote Sensing

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract In West Africa, lakes and reservoirs play a vital role as they are critical resources for drinking water, livestock, irrigation, and fisheries. Given the scarcity of in‐situ data, satellite remote sensing is an important tool for monitoring lake volume changes in this region.

Deforestation changes the effectiveness of bed nets for malaria control

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 180-193, January 2025.
Abstract Land use changes such as deforestation and the degradation of tropical forests can be key drivers of infectious disease, including malaria. However, programmes that evaluate the effectiveness of malaria‐control strategies such as bed nets rarely account for the impacts of surrounding land use change.

Cascading consequences of structural interventions in a tropical wandering gravel‐bed river

River Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 120-137, January 2025.
Abstract Riverscapes are often modified and managed through ‘command and control’ structural engineering approaches. These structures not only alter flow and sediment transport patterns but also negatively affect riverscape biodiversity. These impacts are particularly acute for rivers that are characterised by high mobility and wide flow distribution ...
