Deterministic seismic hazard assessment in the Belgian Campine basin at the Mol/Dessel site: From seismic source to site effect KU Leuven
The objective of this PhD is to perform a deterministic seismic hazard assessment in comparison with existing probabilistic hazard assessments for the specific case of the Mol-Dessel site, which comprises different nuclear industries. In the rare case of a large earthquake, these might pose a threat to population and environment.The expected results will consist in ground motion response spectra at the ground surface of the Mol-Dessel site, ...
Site fidelity and seasonal changes in activity centre size of female pike Esox lucius in a small lake University of Antwerp
The object of this study was to test site fidelity of female pike Esox lucius and to contrast the activity centre size in summer and winter in a 25 ha lake in north-eastern Germany using radio telemetry. Weekly 24 h tracking and two 96 h tracking exercises were conducted by boat from June to December 2005 and by walking on surface ice from January to February 2006. Positions of 12 E. lucius [total length (L(T)) = 450-733 mm] were recorded every ...
2D inversion of in situ gamma-ray spectrometric measurements of 137Cs for site characterization KU Leuven
Environmental contamination by radioactive materials can be characterized by in situ gamma surface measurements. During such measurements, the field of view of a gamma detector can be tens of meters wide, resulting in a count rate that integrates the signal over a large measurement support volume/area. The contribution of a specific point to the signal depends on various parameters, such as the height of the detector above the ground surface, ...

Characterization of subsoil heterogeneity, estimation of grain size distribution and hydraulic conductivity at the Krauthausen test site using Cone Penetration Test KU Leuven
A Cone Penetration Test (CPT) survey with a high spatial resolution was performed in order to investigate the stratigraphy as well as the spatial variability of various soil properties of the Krauthausen test site. Analyses of the CPT measurements showed the subsurface to be dominated by a planar layered structure. Variogram analysis of the various CPT parameters disclosed that within each layer the soil properties have an anisotropic spatial ...
