Congratulations to Lutete Landu eric , Guy ILOMBE MAWE and the team for this nice achievement on gully erosion in D.R. Congo

What happens when a city is built on a #landslide? In our paper in Nature Geoscience led by Antoine Dille, we show how decades of urban growth have accelerated a large landslide in the city of #Bukavu (#DRCongo) rdcu.be/c02lS The AfricaMuseum Belgian Earth Observation Belspo #Georiska

Does building a city on a landslide may change its motion? Our new study with Olivier Dewitte, Matthieu Kervyn, Alexander Handwerger, @DDerauw, MUGARUKA B. Toussaint, Guy ILOMBE MAWE, on the cover of Nature Geoscience December issue suggests it does. rdcu.be/c02lS Belgian Earth Observation The AfricaMuseum

With this dataset, we could explore the role of urbanization on the acceleration of the landslide, showing that recent destabilization was mostly driven by re-routing of surface runoff — associated with roads, housings or storm drainage — and leaky underground infrastructure.

A region where these problems are unfortunately recurrent… See the recent work by Dr Jean-Claude Maki Mateso, PhD nhess.copernicus.org/articles/23/64…

Characterisation of these events has already been studied by Dr Jean-Claude Maki Mateso, PhD It was predicted that these kinds of events would happen again: nhess.copernicus.org/articles/23/64… Urgent: more efforts in Disaster Risk Reduction #DRR #Awareness #Mitigation Olivier Dewitte

An important piece of information on the pressing issue of urban gullies and the role of human-induced land transformation! Have a look!
