Title: The Integration of Climate Change Management into Local Air Quality Management Planning in South Africa
The aim of this project is to integrate climate change management into local air quality management planning in South Africa. By addressing air pollution and climate change issues simultaneously, it is possible to capture the synergistic relationship between the two issues, allowing for: 1) a reduction in mitigation costs, and 2) more effective [...]

Title: An Argo Capacity Building Workshop for the Atlantic Countries of Africa
Argo is an international observational system of the Earth’s oceans. It provides real-time information for use in climate, weather, oceanographic and fisheries research. Argo consists of a large collection of small, drifting oceanic robotic probes deployed worldwide. The probes float as deep as 2 km, and once every 10 days they measure conductivity and temperature profiles [...]

Title: Supporting African expert contributions to LOICZ II development at the IGBP/IHDP LOICZ II Inaugural Open Science Meeting 27-29 June 2005
Coastal zones play a key role in Earth System functioning, and they provide a significant contribution to life support systems. Anthropogenic forcing which modifies the hydrology and fluxes of material from river systems into the coastal zone, has increased in both scale and rate of change during recent centuries on a multiplicity of temporal and [...]
