Evolution of multi-annual and large-scale phytoplankton patterns in the Scheldt estuary: The disappearance of phytoplankton accumulation in the brackish region

Estuaries often show regions in which Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) accumulates. The location and magnitude corresponding to such accumulation result from a complex interplay between processes such as river flushing, salinity, nutrients, grazing on phytoplankton, and the light climate in the water column. An example is the multi-annual evolution of...

Seasonal Variations in Flocculation and Erosion Affecting the Large-Scale Suspended Sediment Distribution in the Scheldt Estuary: The Importance of Biotic Effects

Many estuaries exhibit seasonality in the estuary-scale distribution of suspended particulate matter (SPM). This SPM distribution depends on various factors, including freshwater discharge, salinity intrusion, erodibility, and the ability of cohesive SPM to flocculate into larger aggregates. Various authors indicate that biotic factors, such...

An ecological model for the Scheldt Estuary and tidal rivers ecosystem: Spatial and temporal variability of plankton

Essai sur les travaux de fascinages et la construction des digues; ou, Description du réenidguement des polders du bas escaut Belge

Textbook on the design and construction of dikes in western Belgium. The book contains also a overview of the history of dike building in Belgium. And important task of Kümmer was the repair of sea defences round Antwerpen after the separation between Belgium and the Netherlands. The book largely describes these works.
