World War I heritage in Belgium: combining historical aerial photography and EMI Universiteit Gent
Millions of aerial photographs were taken by all fighting nations during World War I. These photographs are a remarkable and previously underexploited source of information for the study of this conflict heritage. This paper describes interdisciplinary research combining archival research, the interpretation and detailed mapping of historic aerial photographs and the application of electromagnetic induction. These techniques are combined in two ...
Onderbouwen van een methodiek voor de systematische monitoring van koolstofvoorraden in landbouwbodems Universiteit Gent
Gedurende het laatste decennium kende het onderzoek naar organische koolstofvoorraden in de bodem (BOC-voorraden) een sterke opgang in Europa en ook in Vlaanderen. Deze hernieuwde interesse in organische stof kwam voornamelijk voort uit de ratificatie van het Kyoto-protocol dat een mogelijkheid voorzag om CO2 U+2018sinksU+2019 in te brengen in nationale broeikasgasemissiebalansen. Eerder onderzoek in België toonde een sterk verlies aan BOC aan ...
A multi-diciplinary palaeoenvironmental survey in the western Moervaart-depression (East Flanders, B) Universiteit Gent
Continuous multi-signal EMI survey in geoarchaeological research: a 90 ha dataset Universiteit Gent
The archaeological evaluation of project sites is often solemnly based on extensive trenching programmes complemented with auger surveys. However, these methods lack spatial continuity, which can make detected structures difficult to interpret. A mobile multi-signal electromagnetic induction (EMI) survey was therefore incorporated in the archaeological evaluation of a large polder site in the north-west of Belgium. Using a mobile multicoil EMI ...
Predicting the spatial variation of the soil organic carbon pool at a regional scale Universiteit Gent
Reconstructing palaeotopography at the beginning of the Weichselian glacial stage using an electromagnetic induction sensor Universiteit Gent
During the last glacial period (Weichselian), wind-blown loess was deposited over the undulating landscape of central Belgium, which had been formed in surfacing Tertiary marine sediments. Since valleys were covered with a thicker loess layer than were elevated areas, the present topography is much flatter. Reconstructing the palaeolandscape at a detailed scale is almost impossible by conventional procedures based on soil augering. Therefore, ...
Mapping nematode diversity in the Southern Bight of the North Sea Universiteit Gent
In order to protect the biodiversity of the seas from, e.g., overexploitation, the spatial distribution of biodiversity and the mapping of biodiversity hotspots are of great importance. In the present paper we discuss different methods to develop full coverage biodiversity maps of free-living marine nematodes in the Southern Bight of the North Sea. A database with sampling data, gathered over 3 decades (1972 to 2004), combined with exhaustive ...
