The RCE composed a project team including specialists covering a wide range of topics relevant for understanding Saban and Statian landscapes. Topics covered include geology, soils and climate, precolonial land use, historic sites, maritime sites, historic settlements and architecture, nature as heritage, water use, and intangible cultural heritage. The RCE published both Landscape Biographies open access, together with digital map data, which can all be accessed here. An English and a Dutch version of both books are available.
