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 |
| The 2 Seas area is one of the richest in terms of its archaeology, art and coastal maritime heritage. The Arch-Manche project will establish a methodology for demonstrating its value as a resource to support the understanding of long-term coastal change and its impact on human settlement. A study of these data will allow us all to understand and model the ways in which we have adapted to climate change, in the past. It will also help with planning for future sustainable policies in the field of 'Integrated Coastal Zone Management' (ICZM), reacting to predicted increases in coastal erosion and flooding in the coastal areas of the English Channel and southern North Sea. The project will involve analysis and dating of archaeological features and deposits, combined with data from artistic representations. The results will be made available to coastal engineers and managers, planning authorities, coastal stakeholder groups and fora. These results will not only be relevant to scientific research but also for museums, art galleries and educators engaged in climate change-related debates. |
