  1. Surface water-groundwater interactions and local land use control water quality impacts of extreme rainfall and flooding in a vulnerable semi-arid region of Sub-Saharan Africa by Geris, J., Comte, J.-C., Franchi, F., Petros, A. K., Tirivarombo, S., Selepeng, A. T., Villholth, Karen G.

    Published 2022
    “…In this generally data-sparce area, we collected a unique data set that combined traditional water quantity observations with stable water isotope, major ion, trace metal and geophysical data. These were analysed to gain insights into water quantity and quality dynamics following flooding, including contaminant movement using trace metals as pollution indicators. …”

  2. Tectonics, climate and the diversification of the tropical African terrestrial flora and fauna by Couvreur, T.L., Dauby, G., Blach-Overgaard, A., Deblauwe, V., Dessein, S., Droissart, V., Hardy, Olivier J., Harris, D.J., Janssens, S., Ley, A.C., Mackinder, B.A., Sonke, B., Sosef, M.S., Stevart, T., Svenning, J.C., Wieringa, J.J., Faye, A., Missoup, A.D., Tolley, K.A., Nicolas, V., Ntie, S., Fluteau, F., Robin, C., Guillocheau, F., Barboni, D., Sepulchre, P.

    Published 2021
    “…We conclude with four important challenges faced by tropical African biodiversity research: (i) to increase knowledge by gathering basic and fundamental biodiversity information; (ii) to improve modelling of African geophysical evolution throughout the Cenozoic via better constraints and downscaling approaches; (iii) to increase the precision of phylogenetic reconstruction and molecular dating of tropical African clades by using next generation sequencing approaches together with better fossil calibrations; (iv) finally, as done here, to integrate data better from Earth and life sciences by focusing on the interdisciplinary study of the evolution of tropical African biodiversity in a wider geodiversity context.…”
