FACET (Monitoring the forests of Central Africa using remotely sensed data sets) is an OSFAC project whose goal is to quantitatively evaluate the spatiotemporal dynamics of forest change in Central Africa through the use of multi-temporal satellite data. The series of multi-temporal data from the FACET project will be a useful contribution to many environmental and planning projects. All results will be made available to the public.

The CONGO FACET publication is the result of a study of forest cover and forest cover change in the Republic of Congo (RoC). The Language used is French.

Maps built by Cedric Singa, a short presentation of the team contributed in the project.

Atlas is divided into 40 grids with two maps per grid, showing cities, road infrastructures, and protected areas.

The table of results shows the statistics of forest cover loss over the period of 2000 to 2010.

The DR CONGO FACET publication is the result of a study of forest cover and forest cover change in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The analysis made use of an automated "wall-to-wall" remote sensing method, developed jointly by South Dakota State University and the University of Maryland, and incorporated over 8,000 Landsat ETM+ images. The Languages used are French and English.

This map shows forest loss in red and orange from the period 2000-2005-2010 in DRC.

The Gabon FACET publication is the result of a study of forest cover and forest cover change in the Republic of Gabon.

The N'djili river is located in Kinshasa, the capital city of the Republic Democratic of Congo, DRC.

From symbol one, the legend in french shows school, embassy, hospital, drug store, church, office, restaurant, traffic circle, university, ATM, bank, market, police station, gas station, roads, river, and admin limits.

Spatio-map of Kinshasa

• The Open Cities Kinshasa project has mapped more than 120,277 buildings in the project area. 

• The Atlas is a set of maps showing, for the 70 quarters ( 8 townships) of the project area:

• o theland-use
  o thecurrentstateofinfrastructure(buildings,roadnetwork) o different points of interest (schools, churches, police

• station, administrative office, etc.)
  o erosivessites,floodzonesandDEM,riskzones,etc.

• Water resources project

The map shows Slope (pente in french) and Topography of the Ndjili watershed
