These interactions have influenced the natural landscape and play a crucial role in the formation of coastal cultural heritage. Coastal cultural heritage, a continuum of land and sea, is an important part of our cultural resources in the coastal areas. Presently, coastal cultural heritage has not been ...

The Value of Large-Scale Offshore Energy Storage in the Future Electricity Market KU Leuven
Electricity is a real-time product. Supply and demand, or generation and consumption, have to match exactly at any instance to support the stable operation of the power system. This results from the fact that electricity is not economically storable on a large scale. While this is challenged by techno-economic developments leading to increased and improved storage capacities, storage levels remain well below that of other energy commodities. ...

Spatially distributed recharge and groundwater – surface water interactions in groundwater models: from the field to the catchment scale KU Leuven
Flow and transport in lowland area aquifers are strongly influenced by recharge processes and interactions with the surface water network. In lowlands, the groundwater table is close to the topographic surface. Therefore, the interactions between groundwater, atmosphere, soil, vegetation and surface water take place over short distances, within the so-called critical zone. Because of these short distances and the non-linearity of flow ...
