Preservation of Last Interglacial and Holocene transgressive systems tracts in the Netherlands and its applicability as a North Sea Basin reservoir analogue

Understanding of complex sedimentary records formed by transgressive systems is critical for hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation, and carbon capture and storage. This paper discusses the facies proportions and preservation of the Last Interglacial and Holocene transgressive systems tracts in the Netherlands and their applicability as a...

Understanding and managing the morphology of Rhine Delta branches incising into sand-clay deposits

In the Rhine-Meuse delta in the south-western part of the Netherlands, the morphology of the river branches is highly dependent on the erodibility of the subsoil. Erosion processes that were initiated after closure of the Haringvliet estuary branch by a dam (in 1970), caused a strong incision of several connecting branches. Due to the geological...

Historische rivierkundige parameters: Maas, Merwede, Hollandsch Diep en Haringvliet

Dit werkdocument is een achtergronddocument bij de studie naar de morfologische potenties van het rivierengebied, zoals die in opdracht van het hoofdkantoor (WONS-inrichting, vanaf 2003 Stuurboord) wordt uitgevoerd. In het eindrapport van deze studie: Kansrijkdom voor rivierecotopen van historisch en geomorfologisch perspectief (Middelkoop et al...
