Sea-Level Rise & Coastal Health Infrastructure in Sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract

A synthetic dataset modelling sea-level rise impacts on coastal health infrastructure and disease outcomes across three coastal zone scenarios in SSA. Each record represents a location-year observation describing flood risk, facility damage, supply chain disruption, and disease burden. IPCC AR6 projects 0.3-1.0m global mean SLR by 2100, with African coasts among the most vulnerable due to low-lying deltas, limited adaptation, and high population density.

Scenarios

West Africa Delta: Low-lying Niger/Volta delta zones with high flood and erosion risk.
East Africa Island: Indian Ocean island and coastal communities with storm surge exposure.
Southern Coastal City: Urbanized coastal cities with higher baseline infrastructure but growing risk.

Dataset Structure

Each scenario contains 10,000 records (30,000 total). Key columns:

elevation_m, slr_rate_mm_per_yr, cumulative_slr_cm
storm_surge, surge_height_m, coastal_erosion_m_per_yr
flood_risk, flooded, saltwater_intrusion
facility_at_risk, facility_damaged, facility_inaccessible
supply_chain_disrupted, essential_medicine_stockout
displaced, population_exposed
waterborne_disease, malaria_case, cholera_outbreak, mental_health_impact
health_system_resilience, adaptation_score

Parameterization Evidence

Parameter	Value Used	Source	Year
Global mean SLR 3-4 mm/yr	SLR rate baseline	IPCC AR6 WG1	2021
West African coastline eroding 1-5 m/yr	Erosion rates	Appeaning Addo et al.	2011
30% of African health facilities in climate-vulnerable zones	Facility risk	WHO-UNFCCC	2021
Flooding amplifies waterborne disease and malaria	Disease linkage	Lancet Countdown Africa	2022

Validation Summary

The 8-panel validation report (validation_report.png) confirms:

Flood risk: West Africa Delta has highest flood risk; elevation inversely correlated.
Health impacts: Waterborne disease and malaria highest in delta scenario.
Facility risk: Facility damage and inaccessibility track flood exposure.
Elevation gradient: Lower elevation strongly predicts higher flood risk.
Supply chain: Disruption rates highest in delta and island scenarios.
Resilience: Southern coastal cities show highest health system resilience.
SLR trend: Cumulative SLR increases over time across all scenarios.
Adaptation: Urban settings show modestly higher adaptation scores.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/sea-level-rise-coastal-health", name="west_africa_delta")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()

print(df.groupby("flooded")[["waterborne_disease", "malaria_case"]].mean())

Limitations

Synthetic data: Not from tide gauges, satellite altimetry, or health facility surveys.
No spatial geocoding: Scenarios proxy geography, not precise coordinates.
Simplified SLR model: Linear trend; actual SLR is nonlinear with regional variation.
