Article Reference MODIRISK: Mosquito vectors of disease, collection, monitoring and longitudinal data from Belgium
The MODIRISK project studied mosquito biodiversity and monitored and predicted biodiversity changes, to actively prepare to address issues of biodiversity change, especially invasive species and new pathogen risks. This work is essential given continuing global changes that may create suitable conditions for invasive species spread and the (re-)emergence of vector-borne diseases in Europe. Key strengths of MODIRISK, in the context of sustainable development, were the links between biodiversity and health and the environment, and its contribution to the development of tools for describing the spatial distribution of mosquito biodiversity. MODIRISK addressed key topics of the global Diversitas initiative, which was a main driver of the Belspo ‘Science for a Sustainable Development’ research program. Three different MODIRISK datasets were published in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF): the Collection dataset (the Culicidae collection of the Museum of Natural History in Brussels); the Inventory dataset (data from the MODIRISK inventory effort); and the Longitudinal dataset (experiment data used for risk assessments.

Inbook Reference Natuursteengebruik als urbanisatie-indicator stadskern Leuven
SAMENVATTING. Natuursteen is een duurzaam element in de bouwgeschiedenis en als zodanig een goede indicator voor bouwjaar, stijl en mogelijke renovatie. Natuursteengebruik wordt doorgaans geanalyseerd vanuit typologie, scha- depathologie, marktpenetratie of geografische verspreiding. Hieruit kunnen trends worden gehaald over aanwending en waardering. Informatie over de globale impact van natuursteengebruik in het straatbeeld, daarin inbegrepen de ver- naculaire woningbouw, ontbreekt. Om hieraan tegemoet te komen werd een systematische inventarisatie uitgevoerd van het natuursteengebruik in gevels van gebouwen gelegen binnen een historische stadskern. De Leuvense binnen- stad leende zich uitstekend voor dit onderzoek omdat er vrijwel continu is gebouwd gedurende de 19de en 20ste eeuw, zonder uitgesproken dominante stijlen of materialen. Kwalitatieve kenmerken zoals natuursteengebruik, bouwjaar en –stijl werden ingevoerd in een GIS bestand zodat de evolutie van het materiaalgebruik kan worden gekoppeld aan de voortschrijdende verstedelijking. Dit laat tevens toe pijnpunten inzake conservering of verwaarlozing vast te stellen. SUMMARY. Natural stone use as an indicator for urbanisation of the historical city centre of Leuven (Louvain). The use of natural stone for building follows trends depending on changes in availability and appreciation, but is generally analysed in selected historical buildings for specific issues such as typology, market penetration, geographi- cal distribution or decay. Belgian historical cities are showcases of natural stones, even if these are not dominating the cityscape. Because of its durability, natural stone is a conservative construction element reflecting the building history, hence can be used as a proxy for age, style and renovation. In order to assess the architectural impact of natural stone use on the street view, a systematic inventory of natural stone occurrence, including the vernacular, has been made for the historical city centre of Leuven. This city centre has been built up throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, without a clear dominance of styles or materials. Qualitative properties, such as stone identification, its constructive or deco- rative use, age and style of the building were coupled with a GIS database of the buildings of the city of Leuven. This allows to link natural stone use to the progressive urbanisation and to highlight cases of neglect or in need of more suited conservation strategies.
