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.

The intertidal area is importantregarding storm impact and post-storm recovery. Currently, knowledge on the morphodynamics of macro-tidal beaches without intertidal bars is still scarce.The aim of this study was to understand and quantify the spatial and temporal variability of the intertidal beach morphology on a monthly scale for a macro-tidal, sandybeach without bar morphology. To reach this aim, cross-shore beach topographic surveyswerecarried outmonthly for 1.5 years at Mariakerke, Belgium. These surveys were compared tothe hydrodynamics that were measured continuously near the research area. It appeared that significant morphological changes occurredwithin one month, independent ofseasonal or long-term trends. Furthermore, it was found that there wasa strong relation between hydrodynamic forcing and morphological response, but also that this relation strongly variedalong the beach.
