Doctor of Science studying #geological and #geomorphological controls on #landslides in #tropical settings. @africamuseum @ugent @uob

[UOB Geology @Geo_UOBukavu]

Despite huge impacts related to large #UrbanGullies, their magnitude in many #tropical cities across the #GlobalSouth remains largely undocumented. Dr. @IlombeGuy and colleagues (including Pr. #Nzolang, from @Geo_UOBukavu) provide more insights about this in👇🏽@Nature paper.

🚨🚨‼️📢Extremely rapid bedrock #incision can lead to a hotspot of large #landslides in tropical #river gorges. Large landslides can in turn inhibit further incision.

More in👇🏽recent paper by @TMugaruka, @AntoineDille, @smetsbenoit, @MatthiasVanmae1, and @OlivierDewitte3.

[Olivier Dewitte @OlivierDewitte3]

The #Ruzizi River is at the origin of many #landslides. The city of #Bukavu in #DRCongo is built on them. Check out our last paper published by @TMugaruka!

Thanks @BelgiumMFA and @africamuseumbe for HARISSA Project!

New paper on interactions between channel-hillslope coupling and feedbacks among #landslide processes and river gorge formation in a unique environment.

🚨🚨⚠️New Paper Alert ‼️📢

#Muscovite has been used as an exploration tool to track the Nb-Ta, Sn, and W #mineralization in Kalehe and Idjwi #pegmatites from South #Kivu.

🚨⚠️New Paper Alert ‼️📢

Please check out this contribution by #EspoirMurhula in @ACS_AMI on quantifying sodium oleate which is of great use in mineral #flotation. @AmerChemSociety

A region where these problems are unfortunately recurrent…

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 @ClaudeMakimates!

What happens when a city is built on a #landslide? In our paper in @NatureGeosci led by @AntoineDille, we show how decades of urban growth have accelerated a large landslide in the city of #Bukavu (#DRCongo)

[Olivier Dewitte @OlivierDewitte3]

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 😉

@Jos47292080 Ceci nous aide a mieux comprendre l’utilité de ce réseau dans la surveillance de #Nyiragongo et #Nyamulagira. Chapeau bas aux intervenants.

Voilà le potentiel du réseau KivuSnet. Vivre en temps réel l’apparition du lac de lave sur le volcan Nyiragongo.
