The researches conducted at the Georges Lemaître Centre for Earth and Climate Research (TECLIM) at the Université catholique de Louvain aim at understanding the functioning of the Earth system, with focus on its climate component, and the interactions between human activities and their natural environment.

These researches mainly concern (1) past environmental and climatic changes, (2) the current state of the Earth and solar systems, (3) human-environment interactions, and (4) modelling tools. Eric Lambin is the primary researcher involved in REGARDS, and he leads a research team that is involved in several international scientific projects on human-environment interactions in different parts of the world. These projects combine remote sensing, socio-economic data, and spatial models to better understand and predict terrestrial ecosystem dynamics and their impacts.

The team working on REGARDS consists of:

 - Professor Eric Lambin
 - To be appointed PhD
