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.

Abstract
In 1999 Flanders and the Netherlands agreed to cooperate closely for managing the Scheldt estuary and set up a "Long Term Vision" (LTV), based on 3 pillars: safety against flooding, port accessibility and nature. Parallel to the LTV, the Antwerp Port Authority asked an international expert team (called Port of Antwerp Expert Team, or "PAET") to investigate the possibilities of a further deepening of the navigation channel. The PAET proposed the idea of morphological management, aiming at working with the morphology of the estuary. As a pilot project they proposed to use dredged material to restore the western tip of the Walsoorden sandbar in the Western Scheldt. After positive results with the pilot project at Walsoorden, this morphological disposal strategy was used during the 3rd deepening campaign of the fairway in the Western Scheldt.
