    Forensic assessment of the 1999 Mount Cameroon eruption, West-Central Africa

    No full text
    The 28March to 22 April 1999 eruption ofMount Cameroon volcano in southwest Cameroon occurred frommultiple vents along fissures at two sites. Vents opened first at the upper site 1 (2650 m) and were more explosive than vents at the lower site 2 (1500m), which were more effusive. Earthquakes, lava flows, tephra fall, ballistics and gas emissions affected the volcano's west and south flanks, including forests, plantations, stock animals, water supplies, coastal communities and their people. Through an analysis of existing published data and new interview data, we provide an overview of the environmental, social and economic consequences of these hazards on infrastructure, human health, and socio-economic and agricultural activities of the four coastal communitiesmost affected by the eruption: Batoke, Bakingili,Debundscha and Idenau. The collected data provide amore detailed description of the short- and long-term direct and indirect effects of the eruption and response than has been provided to date. Sedimentation of tephra and ballistics from site 1 produced both short-term and longlasting impacts on people, through the contamination of plants and water supplies, which induced impacts on human health and commercial activities. A ~9.2 km long lava flow erupted from site 2 received significant short-termattention as it severed the only arterial coastal highway, forced the evacuation of some 600 residents of Bakingili, and interrupted commerce between communities. The agricultural sector also suffered due to burning of crops and soils. The only obvious significant benefit of the eruption appears to be that the long lava flowhas become a tourist attraction, responsible for bringing in money for food, drink and lodging. However, the longterm cascading effects caused by the hazards have proven to be more severe than the immediate direct and indirect effects during the eruption

    Kivu Rift 1957-58-59 orthomosaics, version 2020

    No full text
    The orthomosaics provided in this repository are based on historical aerial photographs acquired in 1957, 1958 and 1959 over the Kivu Rift region, in Eastern D.R.Congo, Rwanda and Burundi. This is the 1st version of these orthomosaics, used in the frame of the work of Depicker et al. (2021), on the historical dynamics of landslide risk in the Kivu rift. How to cite the data If you use the orthomosaics, please cite the following to references: Smets, B., Depicker, A., 2023.

    Dry gas vents ("mazuku") in Goma region (North-Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo): Formation and risk assessment

    No full text
    The word " mazuku" in Swahili means " evil wind" It corresponds to lowland (depressions) where carbon dioxide is released and, being heavier than air, accumulates at high - often lethal - concentrations (10vol.% of CO2 in atmosphere can be considered as the deadly threshold, even for a short time exposure). Mazuku are abundant in Goma and surrounding areas and particularly in the area south of the large volcanic edifices of Nyiragongo and Nyamulagira volcanoes located in the most eastern part of DR Congo, W branch of the East African Rift System (EARS). Our extensive field surveys have indicated that mazuku are concentrated within to and around the densely populated city of Goma close to the N shores of Lake Kivu, mainly near fault or fissure networks. At a more local scale, depressions allowing CO2-rich gas accumulation are created by lava flow superposition, lava tunnels or cavity collapses, or directly associated with open fractures. People are killed by mazuku every year. Given political and social unrest coupled with the current important demographic and urban growths around Goma, the risks associated to mazuku are increasing accordingly. Mazuku are currently the most important natural risk in terms of human loss for the area and there is an urgent need for further research, more systematic mapping and monitoring of mazuku and for appropriate risk management to be implemented. This paper summarizes the current scientific knowledge on mazuku as well as new advances and a preliminary risk assessment performed recently in the frame of the GORISK project. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods
