A synthetic view of rainfall intensification in the West African Sahel
The West African Sahel has been facing for more than 30 years an increase in extreme rainfall with strong socio-economic impacts. This situation challenges decision-makers to define adaptation strategies in a rapidly changing climate. The present study proposes (i) a quantitative characterization of the trends in extreme rainfall at the regional scale, (ii) the translation of the trends into metrics that can be used by hydrological risk managers,…
Les enjeux de l’interdisciplinarité de la recherche et des parcours de formation sur le changement climatique
En 2017 et 2019 ont eu lieu les deux premières éditions de l’école d’été « Autour du 2 °C » consacrée aux enjeux de l’interdisciplinarité de la recherche et des parcours de formation sur le changement climatique. Nous revenons dans ce texte sur les motivations qui ont conduit au lancement de cette initiative, ainsi que sur le positionnement et le déroulement de ces deux premières éditions, qui ont permis de mettre en évidence les défis scientifiq…
Drought-induced regime shift and resilience of a Sahelian ecohydrosystem
The Sahel (semi-arid fringe south of the Sahara) experienced a long and prolonged drought from the 1970s to the mid-1990s, with a few extremely severe episodes that strongly affected ecosystems and societies. Long-term observations showed that surface runoff has increased during this period, despite the rainfall deficit. This paradox stems from the soil degradation that was induced by various factors, either directly linked to the drought (impact…
Rainfall intensification in tropical semi-arid regions
An anticipated consequence of ongoing global warming is the intensification of the rainfall regimes meaning longer dry spells and heavier precipitation when it rains, with potentially high hydrological and socio-economic impacts. The semi-arid regions of the intertropical band, such as the Sahel, are facing particularly serious challenges in this respect since their population is strongly vulnerable to extreme climatic events. Detecting long term…
Changement climatique
La mobilisation autour de la conférence Paris Climat 2015 (COP 21) est l'occasion de mettre en relief la vulnérabilité des milieux et des populations du Sud face au réchauffement climatique. Certaines régions de la zone intertropicale en subissent déjà les effets, que ce soient les vagues de chaleur au Sahel, la perturbation des systèmes de mousson, la fonte des glaciers andins, les menaces sur la biodiversité, l'élévation du niveau des océans...…
Climate change
The mobilisation centred on the 2015 Paris Climate Conference (COP 21) is an opportunity to highlight the vulnerability of environments and populations in the South in the face of climate warming. Some tropical regions are already suffering from its effects, with heat waves in the Sahel, disturbances to monsoon systems, the melting of the Andean glaciers, threats to biodiversity, a rise in sea level and other features. Research conducted by IRD a…
