Interactive maps, spatial modelling tools and research products developed within the K Van Oost Lab and with collaborating research teams.
An interactive Google Earth Engine application for exploring land-cover patterns and environmental information across the Kasaï region. The application provides access to spatial information used in our research on agricultural land use, landscape dynamics and environmental change.
Open Kasaï Map →Follow a public-facing view of the operational processing workflow for annual land-cover states and transitions across the Kasai Basin. The dashboard presents tile progress, recent activity and processing capacity in a concise map-based overview.
Live Congo Basin processing dashboard →
An interactive Earth Engine product for mapping agricultural land across the Congo Copperbelt. Earth observation is used to provide spatially explicit information on cropland distribution and to investigate agricultural expansion and changing land-use patterns across the region.

WaTEM is a spatially distributed modelling framework for quantifying soil erosion, sediment transport and landscape-scale sediment connectivity. It links spatial patterns of erosion and deposition with sediment delivery through agricultural landscapes and catchments.
WaTEM/SEDEM documentation →SPEROS-C is a process-based modelling framework for investigating how soil erosion and lateral redistribution influence terrestrial carbon cycling. The model represents interactions between erosion, transport, deposition and soil organic carbon dynamics across landscapes.
Model information, documentation and resources will be added here.
