Tectonic and climatic signals in the Oligocene sediments of the Southern North-Sea Basin (Ernest Van den Broeck medallist lecture 2016) KU Leuven
© 2017, Geologica Belgica. All Rights Reserved. The Oligocene sediments formed between the Pyrenean and Savian tectonic pulses. The earliest Oligocene was characterized by a widespread shallow water transgression. Global cooling coincided with the subsequent retreat of the sea which is also the time of the Grande Coupure faunal turnover. Renewed stepwise transgression resulted in the deposition of the Boom Clay during the Rupelian. ...
Construction of data-driven models to predict the occurrence of planktonic species in the North-Sea Ghent University
Marine habitat suitability models typically predict the potential distribution of organisms based on basic abiotic variables such as salinity, oxygen concentrations, temperature fluctuations (Gogina & Zettler, 2010) or sediment class information (Degraer et al., 2008; Willems et al., 2008). Recently, Dachs & Méjanelle (2010) claimed that the modification of biota composition due to marine pollution is a factor to be taken into account in ...

Prospects and Pitfalls of Douglass North's New Institutional Economics Approach for Global Media Policy Research Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This article aims to respond to the goal of this edited volume to discuss new or rarely employed theoretical and methodological ways of analysing communication policy. More specifically, attention is devoted to the search for adequate frameworks and methodologies in the emerging but under-theorized field of global media policy. Specifically, the article will present the new institutional economics approach by its most important proponent and ...
Disentangling ongoing hybridization and cryptic species of the submerged macrophyte genus Ruppia, using ecological and molecular insights Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Aquatic plants are an ecologically and taxonomically diverse group that plays key role in continental and coastal aquatic habitats worldwide. However,despite their ecological importance in aquatic ecosystems, they are relatively poorly studied. Aquatic plant genera are generally assumed to have only few species, but they occupy broad geographical and ecological ranges. Only recently, evidence with different types of molecular markers suggested ...
Modelling of Self-Induced Atmospheric Gravity Waves in Large-Scale Wind Farms KU Leuven
The research concentrates on the development of improved high-fidelity modelling of wind farms, and its use to study meso-scale feedback effects on wind-farm operation, such as wind-farm induced gravity waves.To this end, the large-eddy simulation solver SP-Wind (developed at the TFSO group over the last 15 years) is used to investigate the effects of thermal stratification above the atmospheric boundary layer on wind-farm power production, with ...
Tight chalk: Characterization of the 3D pore network by FIB-SEM, towards the understanding of fluid transport KU Leuven
© 2017 Elsevier B.V. Tight chalk intervals play a major role in North-Sea hydrocarbon fields, by controlling fluid flow pathways of hydrocarbon and water. Recent studies reveal that low-permeability chalk properties are dependent on clay content and cementation. Therefore, in this research, three characteristic samples were selected: (A) a porous micritic chalk, (B) a cemented chalk and (C) an argillaceous chalk. Focused Ion Beam-Scanning ...
