Description

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.
