About Gerard Govers

Gerard Govers, With an exceptional h-index of 106 and a recent h-index of 59 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, specializes in the field of geography, geomorphology, soil erosion, soil carbon, biogeochemical cycles.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Mobilization rates of landslides in a changing tropical environment: 60-year record over a large region of the East African Rift

The slow downwearing of Madagascar: Inferring patterns and controls on long‐term basin‐averaged erosion rates from in situ 10Be at the catchment and regional …

Coastal wetland adaptability to sea level rise: The neglected role of semi‐diurnal vs. diurnal tides

Rice availability and stability in Africa under future socio-economic development and climatic change

Vegetation changes and sediment dynamics in the Lake Alaotra region, central Madagascar

Deciphering the patterns and controls on long-term basin-averaged erosion rates from in-situ 10Be in Madagascar using random within-between modelling

Potential and limitations of crowdsourced data for high-resolution rice mapping in Madagascar: The importance of representation

What about human behavior? The case of urbanization and rice in Africa
