Datasets
Administrative Divisions of Burkina Faso
Administrative Divisions of Burkina Faso. This WMS consists of four administrative divisions: international, regional, provincial and department level. The data is available as geospatial data for local use.
Peak runoff and flood hazard maps of three watersheds in Burkina Faso, Benin and Ghana
Flood hazard maps showing information on extent, severity and probability integrated in a flood hazard index in Burkina Faso, Benin and Ghana.
Event database for droughts and floods in Burkina Faso, Benin and Ghana for various years (2001-2014)
Collection of national and local level records on past flood and drought events. Most Information is on flood events, because drought data was not provided. There are gaps in the records. For several years there are only very few entries...
Projected Future (2020-2050; 2070-2100):Daily Outputs of Near-surface Air Temperature from the High Resolution (0.11°) Regional Climate Model Simulations (CCLM-MPIESM-LR) over West Africa, (WASCAL Project)
High resolution (0.11°) regional climate simulations were carried out by the researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research, Atmospheric Environmental Research (KIT/IMK-IFU) as part of the West...
Farmers' Perceptions & Adaptation to Climate Change Part IV: Coping measures; Dano, Burkina Faso, 2015
This dataset is the fourth of a series of datasets addressing farmers' adaptation to climate change in West-Africa, specifically in Dano, Burkina Faso and Dassari, Benin. This data was obtained by interviews with 121 people from 13 communities in...
Farmers' Perceptions & Adaptation to Climate Change Part III: Climate change perception; Dassari, Benin, 2013
This dataset is the third of a series of datasets addressing farmers' adaptation to climate change in West-Africa, specifically in Dano, Burkina Faso and Dassari, Benin. This Data was obtained by interviews with 137 people from 17 communities,in...
Daily Outputs of Near-surface Maximum Temperature from the High Resolution (0.11°) Regional Climate Model Simulations (CCLM-ERAInterim) over West Africa, 1980 - 2010 (WASCAL Project)
High resolution (0.11°) regional climate simulations were carried out by the researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research, Atmospheric Environmental Research (KIT/IMK-IFU) as part of the West...
Modeling Flood Hazard Zones at the Sub-District Level with the Rational Model Integrated with GIS and Remote Sensing Approaches
Robust risk assessment requires accurate flood intensity area mapping to allow for the identification of populations and elements at risk. However, available flood maps in West Africa lack spatial variability while global datasets have...
