Africa has the most dynamic demographic development worldwide. Current projections predict a population of > 3 billion people by the end of the century. Sub-Saharan Africa alone will likely see a 40% increase in population between 2020 and 2050. Although it is well known that large parts of Africa are in a constant state of water stress, its surfac...
Water availability is vital for the sustenance of livelihoods in the Lake Chad Basin. However, the daily and seasonal dynamics of open water bodies are not well understood. This study aims to (1) analyze the daily and seasonal dynamics of water bodies, (2) estimate changes in surface water area extent including trends and change points, and (3) ass...
The Lake Chad is an endorheic lake in Sahelian Africa, with an extension to hyper arid areas. The
lake basin is not exempt from global environmental changes which significantly affect fresh water
resources across the globe. Despite a plethora of research on lake Chad, the daily and seasonal
surface water dynamics is not clearly understood. This stu...
Open surface water across the globe is essential for many life forms and is an important source for human settlements, agriculture, and industry. The presence and variation in time and space is influenced by different natural conditions (e.g. climate, topography, geology) and human use (e.g. irrigation, flood protection). The information on the spa...
Cropland monitoring is important for ensuring food security in the context of global climate change and population growth. Freely available satellite data allow for the monitoring of large areas, while cloud-processing platforms enable a wide user community to apply remote sensing techniques. Remote sensing-based estimates of cropped area and crop...
Non-communicable diseases – NCDs – (e.g., asthma, cancer, or
diabetes) are a major concern for society and medicine. According to the World Health Organization, NCDs are responsible for > 70 % of global premature deaths. Apart from increasing mortality, these diseases strain one’s immune system which leads to higher susceptibility to transmittable...
The goal of this research was to explore whether ecological niche modelling (ENM) and a habitat suitability index (HSI) model can be combined to refine results for actual breeding areas of three different locust pests. With the application of ENM as part of HSI, the information value based on climatic and soil preference components defining locust...
Inland surface water is often the most accessible freshwater source. As opposed to groundwater, surface water is replenished in a comparatively quick cycle, which makes this vital resource—if not overexploited—sustainable. From a global perspective, freshwater is plentiful. Still, depending on the region, surface water availability is severely limi...
Non-communicable diseases – NCDs – (asthma, cancer, or diabetes, for example) are a major concern for modern medicine. According to the World Health Organization, NCDs are responsible for over 70% of global premature deaths. Apart from the mortality directly related to these chronic diseases, they constantly strain the individual’s immune system, i...
A disease is non-communicable when it is not transferred from one person to another. Typical examples include all types of cancer, diabetes, stroke, or allergies, as well as mental diseases. Non-communicable diseases have at least two things in common—environmental impact and chronicity. These diseases are often associated with reduced quality of l...
