The geomorphology of a lowland river and its relevance to environmental management (Lys River, Belgium)
Lowland rivers with minimal topographic demarcation present significant challenges for geomorphological mapping. This study developed a detailed 1:50,000 geomorphological map of the Lys Valley (Belgium) by generating a relative elevation topographic surface from a high-resolution LiDAR-based 1-m Digital Elevation Model (DEM). This surface visualises topography as elevation relative to the local river level, revealing subtle landforms that are oth…
Variation of the Omo Delta between 1990 and 2018: What remote sensing data reveal and models explain
Deltas, being areas where river sediments accumulate, are sensitive to changes in climate and anthropogenic processes that affect sediment generation. The Omo Delta, on the Ethiopia–Kenya border, is constantly changing due to fluctuating lake levels, a variable climate, and rapidly changing land use. Due to field data scarcity and the region's limited accessibility, we relied on remote sensing (RS) data to investigate delta extent between 1990 an…
Drone imagery to create a common understanding of landscapes
Negotiated solutions among contrasting land use interests in the nexus of water, energy, food and ecosystems require cooperation between actors with different viewpoints and backgrounds. We suggest aerial imagery and videos, captured by drones, to be “boundary objects”, easily interpretable landscape representations that might create a common understanding across stakeholders through their universal interpretability. We collected drone imagery an…
Facing conservation' or 'conservation with a human face'? People-park interactions in southern Ethiopia
Whereas some conservationists argue that ‘people-oriented approaches’ failed to achieve conservation goals, Nechisar National Park presents a case where ‘strict conservation approaches’ have at best been only partly successful. Nechisar National Park, heralded as a success in the 1990s, today shows a collapsed population of the endemic Swayne’s hartebeest and severe degradation of the emblematic grasslands of the plains. The park is also heavily …
Formalising land rights based on customary tenure: Community delimitation and women's access to land in central Mozambique
The Mozambican Land Law of 1997 intends to provide flexible rules of access to land, while securing local people's customary rights, as well as equal rights for women and men. Drawing on participant observation during a 'land delimitation' process in central Mozambique, this article analyses the complex negotiation ensuing from the implementation of the Land Law in a local community. It shows how the delimitation process provided spaces for asser…
Artisanal gold mining and rural development policies in Mozambique: Perspectives for the future
This pasture is ours since ancient times: An ethnographic analysis of the reduction in conflicts along the post-1991 Afar-Tigray regional boundary
The role of post-1991 ethnic-based federalism on conflicts along regional boundaries has been a topic of great dispute in Ethiopianist literature. This article sheds new light on the on-going debate based on original ethnographic material from the Afar-Tigray regional border zone. Contrary to other studies, conflicts appear to have reduced in that area. Two key questions are addressed: how do different groups lay future claims to land; and which …
Water for All and All for Water? Governmental Interventions Affecting Property of Natural Resources in Northern Ethiopia
In spite of growing international attention for natural resource management, relations of property regarding natural resources have hardly been studied in Ethiopia, a country known for its oxen-plow-based agriculture and revolutionary land reforms. This article goes beyond the agricultural focus and provides an actor-oriented analysis of water management in an Ethiopian microlevel context within a theoretical framework that builds on development …
