In our new paper, we study the timing of #landslides in the North Tanganyika-Kivu Rift region. Diverse processes in a diverse tropical environment. link.springer.com/article/10.100โฆ The AfricaMuseum #africa #georiska


More than 20% of the hillslopes of #Bujumbura are affected by #landslides. Check out our new paper led by Dรฉsirรฉ Kubwimana! mdpi.com/2076-3263/11/6โฆ #geomorphology #DRR #Africa #Burundi The AfricaMuseum #UniversitรฉduBurundi #georiska


Data sharing is transparently described in Oth et al.(2017), refuting the allegations spread by Roland Pease in Science Magazine, Bashi Wendy, and Charles Balagizi. Co-authors are from the Congo (GVO and CRSN), Rwanda, Burundi, Belgium and Luxembourg. pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/srl/articlโฆ

Our team #Georiska is just back from a great #EGU22 week in Vienna. For several of us it was the first in-person international event! Looking forward to the next one! With posters ๐ The AfricaMuseum Belspo Belgian Earth Observation ๐ง๐ช Belgium MFA georiska.africamuseum.be


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


Glad to see our work highlighted by NASA Earth! The AfricaMuseum Belgian Earth Observation

Mining activities, road construction and deforestation impact #landslides in Eastern DRC. Check the Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS) study led by Dr Jean-Claude Maki Mateso, PhD! #Africa #DRC #RDC The AfricaMuseum #CRSN Lwiro @ELI_UCLouvain #georiska


Interactions between #landslides and human activities can be problematic, but also lead to opportunities. Jean Claude Maki-Mateso just defended his PhD on this topic in #Kivu, #DRC. Congratulations Dr Dr Jean-Claude Maki Mateso, PhD! @ELI_UCLouvain The AfricaMuseum #CRSN #Lwiro
