In 2012 verloren we Jean Jacques Peters, voormalig ingenieur van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium (1964 tot 1979) en internationaal expert in sedimenttransport, rivierhydraulica en -morfologie. Als eerbetoon aan hem hebben we potamology (http://www.potamology.com/) gecreëerd, een virtueel gedenkarchief dat als doel heeft om zijn manier van denken en morfologische aanpak van rivierproblemen in de wereld in stand te houden en te verspreiden.
Het merendeel van z’n werk hebben we toegankelijk gemaakt via onderstaande zoekinterface.

Recently there has been a growing interest in the question whether or not the Scheldt estuary may evolve towards a hyper-turbid system. Typical for such a regime shift is an increase in suspended particle matter (SPM) over a time scale of several decades. In this research we studied the historical evolution of SPM in the Scheldt estuary by the analysis of data over a period of 18 years (1995-2013). We looked at the effect of the tide, riverine discharge, seasons and sediment disposal (short-term) in order to understand the effect of these physical parameters on the SPM signal and its historical evolution (long-term).
