Mangrove forests have been providing numerous benefits to densely populated areas such as providing protection from soil erosion, sources of food and habitats and mitigating climate change. Nevertheless, mangroves are becoming increasingly vulnerable to climate change impacts especially from the increasing sea-level.
This paper assesses whether climate change has an effect on mangrove forests using the Google Earth Engine (GEE) computing platform. Applying the 35+ year quasi-global rainfall CHIRPS dataset with the GEE platform provided the Precipitation and Evapotranspiration data. This data can be used to correlate with the climate variables, CO2 emissions and Temperature.
This paper aims to analyse the correlation between Precipitation and Evapotranspiration with the climate variables to assess the climate change effect on the Al Zorah Natural Reserves mangrove in the UAE.
