Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

Mount Kilimanjaro is a large dormant volcano in Tanzania. It is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain above sea level in the world, at 5,895 m above sea level and 4,900 m above its plateau base. It is also the highest volcano in the Eastern Hemisphere and the fourth most prominent peak on earth. It is composed of three main cones, Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira, formed by successive eruptions during the Pleistocene. Kibo, the central cone, is dormant but not extinct, and its summit crater and lava formations reveal the mountain’s long volcanic history.

The DEM data were obtained from   the United  State s  Geological Survey  Earth   Explorer   and processed using  Quantum  Geographic Information  System . The slope and aspect were derived through spatial analysis tools that measure changes in elevation and slope orientation. The aspect values ranged from 0° to ...

Simulation of flooding in Keta municipal district

Image
https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.26871.89762 The maps above illustrate the spatial extent of simulated flooding in the Keta, Abutiakope, Dzelukope, Tegbi, and Woe areas along the coast of the Volta Region, Ghana. The simulation employs a raster-based modelling technique to visualise progressive sea-level rise scenarios at 1 m, 2 m, and 3 m elevations above current sea level. This approach provides a visual representation of the potential impacts of coastal inundation due to climate-induced sea-level rise (SLR). Analysis of the Maps Map 1 serves as the baseline, showing the existing land cover and settlement pattern without sea-level rise. It highlights the dense coastal settlements and infrastructure in low-lying zones, which are inherently vulnerable to inundation. Map 2 (Sea Level +1 m) demonstrates the initial stage of flooding, where a 1 m rise leads to noticeable encroachment of seawater inland, particularly around the lagoonal systems and coastal fringes. The inundation is concent...
