Semi-automatic core characterisation based on geochemical logging data

Textural variations in sediment are considered to be one of the primary controls on the geochemical composition. This relation has been widely exploited for the climatological interpretation of unconsolidated Quartenary sediment cores. Despite the common objectives in respectively unconsolidated and consolidated sedimentological studies, for the...

Novel techniques for coastal monitoring: A case study near Monster-Ter Heijde

There are currently three active projects under development for the Delfland coast, all aiming at reinforcing the coast. The main issue is where to put the sand such that it arrives at the coast in the best place, without causing any damage to e.g. the new nature development. To answer this question, knowledge about sand transport is necessary,...

Long term statistics of extreme environmental loads on fixed offshore structures: Effects of strongly directional currents

The design and re-assessment of fixed offshore structures for operation in the harsh conditions of the North Sea is largely determined by extreme environmental loading. The ability to predict accurately the extreme storm load remains an important factor in the continued safe and economic exploitation of the hydrocarbon reserves in this area. The...
