FWO travel grant for a short stay abroad in the United states of America (Houston): SIAM Conference on Mathematical & Computational Issues in the Geosciences (GS19) Hasselt University

Jochen SCHUETZ
Computational mathematics
In this talk, we consider the numerical treatment of evolution equations of form w_t + Q(w) = 0, where Q can of course be a differential operator. Convection-diffusion equation, the Navier-Stokes equations and many more fall into this rather general framework. Here, we focus on the discretization of the time-derivative using a multiderivative approach. This means that, unlike in classical one-step methods, not only Q(w) is taken into account, ...

4 Decades of Belgian Marine monitoring: uplifting historical data to today's needs Flanders Marine Institute

Flanders Marine Institute
Historical data are essential for understanding long-term changes in the quality of the marine environment. The 4DEMON project will centralise, integrate and valorise data compiled during expeditions in the BCS over the last four decades, forming an important Belgian scientific heritage. DEMON will focus on data on contaminants, eutrophication and ocean acidification processes.

Developing Geotourism as a Sustainable Development Vehicle: The case of the Lake Tana Region, Ethiopia

Sustainable development is a critical issue for the world. It is a concern at all levels: global, national and local, and for developed and developing countries. Geotourism, if sustainably planned and managed, has the potential to contribute to sustainable development. Sustainable geotourism helps to raise the ...

DynaMOD: An oceanographic and sediment DYNAmic MODelling study of MOunded contourite Drifts Ghent University

David Van Rooij
Department of Geology

The aim of this project is to study in very high resolution the past (Quaternary) and present-day evolution of a submarine sedimentary deposit (contourite drift), created by bottom currents, located offshore Ireland. Through the use of a multidisciplinary approach, combining geology, geophysics and physical oceanography we aim to understand and reconstruct the driving oceanographic processes.

Understanding and predicting the bio-geomorphological development of new mangrove forests in a tropical river delta. University of Antwerp

Stijn Temmerman
Ecosphere
The restoration of previously degrading mangrove forests is increasingly demanded, among others to provide nature-based solutions for climate change. However, effective mangrove restoration is hindered by knowledge-gaps on the mechanisms driving the development of new mangrove forests over bare intertidal mudflats within a tropical river delta. This study aims to develop innovative knowledge on where, when and how fast new mangrove forests can ...
