The Earth & Climate Research group (TECLIM) of the Université catholique de Louvain is an institute providing a focus for researchers with expertise in climate and earth system modelling and soil processes and interactions between human activities and their environment from local to global scales. TECLIM combines field/experimental work with process-based modelling and synthesis studies. TECLIM has a UAV-lab with 4 flying platforms that can carry a range of RGB and multi and hyperspectral cameras. The group has a soil laboratory for elemental analysis (particulate and dissolved), a darkroom for soil spectroscopy and high performance data processing infrastructure is available.
