Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

Since 1986 the subbottom of the continental shelf off the Belgian coast has been surveyed. An area extending from Nieuwpoort to Zeebrugge and some 14 km seaward has been investigated. The study aims to contribute to the reconstruction of the palaeoenvironment during the Quaternary, and more specifically during the Holocene, in this area. Indeed, on the basis of the seaward extension of the uppermost intercalated peat layer, as was observed by Baeteman (1981) it can logically be assumed that beach and dune formations of Quaternary age occur on some parts of the continental shelf off the Belgian coast. The shoreward extension of thick peat deposits is one of the indicators for a more northwestward located older coastline. The subbottom survey also intended to supply information for the interpretation of a network of borings recovered on the continental shelf, offshore the Belgian coast, during a vast drilling project of the Belgian Geological Survey.
