Datasets
Bulk density per Horizon and per Soil Type, Dano Catchment (Burkina Faso)
Bulk density values for the 21 soil units of the Dano catchment. Also include the horizon depth for each soil.
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.
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...
Livelihood Zones for Agricultural Water Management in Burkina Faso
Livelihood zoning consists in identifying areas where rural people share relatively homogeneous living conditions, on the basis of a combination of biophysical and socio-economic determinants. The main criteria to establish livelihood zones are:...
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...
Bias-Corrected and raw CORDEX-AFRICA daily precipitation for Burkina Faso - ICHEC-EC-EARTH_rcp85_r1i1p1_KNMI-RACMO22T_v1 - RCP 8.5 (20060101-21001231)
Bias-corrected data set of daily precipitation for a study region in Burkina Faso and parts of Ghana, Togo and Benin. The precipitation simulations of the CORDEX Africa ensemble have been bias-corrected with a geostatistically based Quantile-...
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...
