Investigating the Impacts of Earth Cooling Approaches on the Variability and Wet-Dry Spell Dynamics of the West African Monsoon
This project investigates how Earth-cooling strategies, particularly Solar Radiation Management (SRM), affect the variability of the West African Monsoon (WAM) and the dynamics of wet and dry spells. Using high-resolution climate simulations and statistical analyses, it aims to assess potential impacts on water resources, agriculture, and climate resilience across West Africa.
Exploring whether SRM could offset droughts in West Africa — Phase 1
West Africa is highly exposed to climate extremes. This project models the potential influence of Solar Radiation Management (SRM) on droughts using meteorological, hydrological and agricultural perspectives, to provide decision-ready insights for regional stakeholders.
APV-MaGa – Agrophotovoltaïcs for Mali and The Gambia
The APV-MaGa (Agrophotovoltaïcs for Mali and The Gambia) project aims to implement innovative agrivoltaic systems that combine agricultural production, renewable energy, and water management on the same land. The project demonstrates how solar energy can enhance food and water security, improve farmers’ resilience to climate change, and promote sustainable rural development in Mali and The Gambia.
