The mission of CLUVA is to develop methods and knowledge to assess risks cascading from climate-changes. It downscales IPCC climate projections to evaluate threats to selected African test cities; mainly floods, sea-level rise, droughts, heat waves and desertification. The project evaluates and links: social vulnerability; vulnerability of in-town ecosystems and urban-rural interfaces; vulnerability of urban built environment and lifelines; and related institutional and governance dimensions of adaptation.

Research paper thumbnail of A methodological approach to assess sensitivity to desertification in two sub-Saharan urban areas: Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) and Saint Louis (Senegal)

ABSTRACT The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) defines desertification ... more ABSTRACT The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) defines desertification as &quot;land degradation in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas resulting from various factors, including climatic variations and human activities&quot;. Desertification is regarded as one of the major global environmental problems of the 21st century and the African sub-Sahara is often quoted as the most seriously affected region with a significant loss of biological and economic productivity of the land. In this geographic area, desertification processes are usually generated by soil erosion due to climate characteristics and fluctuations, unsustainable land uses, overgrazing and inappropriate agricultural practices. Preventing desertification requires an improved understanding of its causes, impact, degree and association with climate, soil, water, land cover, socio-economic factors and their combined effects. The development of methodologies capable of managing large amounts of data in an integrated approach is needed because of the complexity and variety of forms of desertification processes. The study was carried out within the FP7-ENV-2010 CLUVA project (CLimate change and Urban Vulnerability in Africa), aimed to estimate the sensitivity to land degradation in the urban and peri-urban areas of both Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) and Saint Louis (Senegal) cities. The approach was based on the implementation and adaptation of the modeling methodology developed within the MEDALUS project (MEditerranean Desertification and Land Use). The model is characterized by a multi-factor approach based on the assessment of both environmental quality indicators (climate, soil, vegetation) and anthropogenic factors (land management). The methodology is adaptable to the local conditions, considering that some key indicators can be operationally defined through the inclusion or exclusion of parameters and the scores assigned in order to match the specific relevance of the factors. All local data, arranged in a GIS environment, allowed the generation of maps identifying Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) and Indices of Environmental Sensitivity (ESAI). As expected, the results highlighted an overall high sensitivity to desertification. In Ouagadougou, the poorly vegetated peri-urban zone, affected by an increasing demographic pressure as the result of immigration from surrounding rural areas, was found as the most vulnerable area; in Saint Louis, the critical zones were located mostly in the northern part of the study area, where both low quality of soil and overexploitation of vegetation, due to grazing and domestic use, increase the sensitivity to desertification. The described methodological approach has a potential to represent a valuable tool to orientate effective policies preventing and mitigating land degradation processes. Model validation and comparison with other widely applied methods to assess desertification are in progress.

Nous etablissons des resultats d’existence, d’unicite et de dependance continue par rapport aux donnees d’une bonne solution du probleme de Cauchy ou des problemes aux limites associees a cette equation sous des hypotheses tres generales. Avec des hypotheses complementaires, nous montrons que cette bonne solution est une solution locale de type entropique, nous etudions egalement l’unicite des solutions faibles et l’existence de solution forte.

Dans le premier et le second article nous etudions une equation generale de type parabolique pouvant degeneree en hyperbolique du premier ordre pour certaines valeurs des variables. Dans le premier article, nous developpons une notion de solution entropique du probleme stationnaire associe a cette equation. Ceci nous permet, suivant la theorie des semi-groupe non lineaire dans un espace de banach, d'associer aux donnees un operateur de cet espace de banach. Nous montrons que cet operateur est fortement accretif a domaine dense et verifie la condition d'image. Dans le second article, nous etablissons des resultats d'existence, d'unicite et de dependance continue par rapport aux donnees, d'une bonne solution du probleme de cauchy ou de problemes aux limites associes a cette equation ...
