Improving land-use change modeling by integrating ANN with Cellular Automata-Markov Chain model

Heliyon, 2020
Urban growth and land-use change are a few of many puzzling factors affecting our future cities. Creating a precise simulation for future land change is a challenging process that requires temporal and spatial modeling.

Spatiotemporal Variation in Land Use Land Cover in the Response to Local Climate Change Using Multispectral Remote Sensing Data

Land, 2022
Climate change is likely to have serious social, economic, and environmental impacts on farmers whose subsistence depends on nature. Land Use Land Cover (LULC) changes were examined as a significant tool for assessing changes at diverse temporal and ...

Assessment of WRF Land Surface Model Performance over West Africa

Advances in Meteorology, 2020
Simulations with four land surface models (LSMs) (i.e., Noah, Noah-MP, Noah-MP with ground water GW option, and CLM4) using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model at 12 km horizontal grid resolution were carried out as two sets for 3 months ...

Multiscale assessments of hydroclimatic modelling uncertainties under a changing climate

Journal of Water and Climate Change, 2022
Since the 1970s, climate change has led to decreasing water resources in the Sahel. To cope with climate change, reliable modelling of future hydroclimatic evolutions is required.

Survey data on key climate and environmental drivers of farmers’ migration in Burkina Faso, West Africa

Data in Brief, 2016
This article describes two datasets generated from various sources in south western Burkina Faso to identify the key climate and environmental drivers that cause farmers to migrate. The survey sampling is random but reasoned and rational.
