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 EL-Arraiche mud volcano field is located in the NW of the Morrocan margin and consists of 8 mud volcanoes in water depths between 200 and 700m (Van Rensbergen et al, 2005). These are geologic features where sub bottom fluids can emerge and contribute to specific marine ecosystems. The physical oceanography of the geographic region where the mud volcano field is included is largely unknown due to lack of dedicated observational studies. Some efforts towards the hydrographical characterization have been taken in the last years by several teams. Here are presented some of the results of the dedicated physical oceanographic campaign in the scope of the European project Hermione together with an opportunity collection of hydrographic data during a seismic survey focused on the sedimentary history of drift deposits. |
