The densely populated city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo is highly vulnerable to volcanic hazards from the Nyiragongo volcano. However, these threats are not taken into account in land use and urban planning. In fact, a contingency plan for evacuating people in the event of a volcanic disaster cannot be successful if the evacuation en...

This study highlights the competitive effects of the exploitation of the resources of Mount Lubwe on the quality of the water resources. The objective is twofold and consisted in: (i) evaluating the physico-chemical and microbiological water quality in the current context of anthropization of Mount Lubwe vis-à-vis the standards of the World Health...

Regional and local climate variability has serious consequences on water resources, ecosystems and socio-economic activities. With the inexistence of rainfall stations, it is important to reconstruct the past climate with existing data and to explore new possibilities for monitoring future climate evolution in the tropical city of Beni. The objecti...

The conference revolved around the presentation of research conducted by young researchers from overseas

The anthropization of forest ecosystems has become a major environmental problem with negative impacts on biodiversity around the world. Responding to such a problem requires monitoring land use. Thus, this study aims to analyze the Spatio-temporal dynamics of land use (LULC) to implement effective management strategies for forest ecosystems in...

Changes in land use and land cover (LULC) influence hydrological processes in a watershed. This study analyses the dynamics of LULC in the Kimemi watershed from 1987 to 2021. GIS and remote sensing tools as well as landscape pattern analysis were used to achieve this purpose. The results reveal that the LULC change is globally marked by an increase...
