The LANDSURF project seeks to develop a West African Earth System Model (WESM) for high-resolution longer-term transient climate change projections. The novel aspect of this regional climate model approach is the consideration of dynamic interactions between atmosphere and land-surface processes, including man-made land cover changes and land degradation, as well as between atmosphere and ocean. UNU-INRA is hosting two PhD students as a capacity building component of the project.
