  • Projected population exposure to dangerous heat stress around Lake Victoria under a high-end climate change scenario

    Open AccessDelphine Ramon, Clare Heaviside et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Recent global temperature increases and extreme heat events have raised concerns about their impact on health, particularly in vulnerable regions like Africa. This study assesses future heat stress and population exposure in the Lake Victoria region under the high-emission SSP5-8.5 climate change scenario, using a convection-permitting climate model, heat stress indices (humidex and heat index), and high-resolution population projections under th…

  • Energy production and inter-farm wake losses in future North Sea wind farms

    Open AccessRuben Borgers, J Meyers et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    The deployment of new wind farms in the North Sea is an essential part of Europe’s transition to low-emission energy sources. Here, we use the mesoscale climate model COSMO-CLM to simulate the energy production of a realistic 92 GW wind farm expansion scenario and compare it with that of the wind farm distribution in 2024. The simulations indicate that added inter-farm wakes would cause the annual energy production of 25 out of 69 operational win…

  • Lack of vegetation exacerbates exposure to dangerous heat in dense settlements in a tropical African city

    Open AccessJonas Van de Walle, Oscar Brousse et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Both climate change and rapid urbanization accelerate exposure to heat in the city of Kampala, Uganda. From a network of low-cost temperature and humidity sensors, operational in 2018–2019, we derive the daily mean, minimum and maximum Humidex in order to quantify and explain intra-urban heat stress variation. This temperature-humidity index is shown to be heterogeneously distributed over the city, with a daily mean intra-urban Humidex Index devi…

  • Can we use local climate zones for predicting malaria prevalence across sub-Saharan African cities

    Open AccessOscar Brousse, Stefanos Georganos et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Malaria burden is increasing in sub-Saharan cities because of rapid and uncontrolled urbanization. Yet very few studies have studied the interactions between urban environments and malaria. Additionally, no standardized urban land-use/land-cover has been defined for urban malaria studies. Here, we demonstrate the potential of local climate zones (LCZs) for modeling malaria prevalence rate ( Pf PR 2-10 ) and studying malaria prevalence in urban se…

  • Smart renewable electricity portfolios in West Africa

  • A new approach for assessing synergies of solar and wind power

    Open AccessSebastian Sterl, Stefan Liersch et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    West African countries' energy and climate policies show a pronounced focus on decarbonising power supply through renewable electricity (RE) generation. In particular, most West African states explicitly focus on hybrid mixes of variable renewable power sources-solar, wind and hydropower-in their targets for the electricity sector. Hydropower, the main current RE resource in West Africa, is strongly sensitive to monsoon rainfall variability, whic…

  • Should future wind speed changes be taken into account in wind farm development

    Open AccessAnnemarie Devis, Nicole Van Lipzig et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Accurate wind resource assessments are crucial in the development of wind farmprojects. However, it is common practice to estimate the wind yield over the next 20 years from short-term measurements and reanalysis data of the past 20 years, even though wind climatology is expected to change under the future climate. The present work examines future changes in wind power output over Europe using an ensemble of ESMs. The power output is calculated u…

  • Early warnings of hazardous thunderstorms over Lake Victoria

    Open AccessWim Thiery, Lukas Gudmundsson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Weather extremes have harmful impacts on communities around Lake Victoria in East Africa. Every year, intense nighttime thunderstorms cause numerous boating accidents on the lake, resulting in thousands of deaths among fishermen. Operational storm warning systems are therefore crucial. Here we complement ongoing early warning efforts based on numerical weather prediction, by presenting a new satellite data-driven storm prediction system, the prot…

  • Drivers of future changes in East African precipitation

    Open AccessNiels Souverijns, Wim Thiery et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Precipitation amounts over East Africa have been declining over the last decades. These changes and future climate change over the region are highly debated. This study analyzes drivers of future precipitation changes over East Africa by applying a classification of circulation patterns on 15 historical and future members of the COordinated Regional climate Downscaling EXperiment. Typical circulation types (CTs) are obtained. Under a high emissio…
