Reappraisal of the extinct seal 'Phoca' vitulinoides from the Neogene of the North Sea Basin, with bearing on its geological age, phylogenetic affinities, and locomotion Universiteit Gent
Background: Discovered on the southern margin of the North Sea Basin, "Phoca" vitulinoides represents one of the best-known extinct species of Phocidae. However, little attention has been given to the species ever since its original 19th century description. Newly discovered material, including the most complete specimen of fossil Phocidae from the North Sea Basin, prompted the redescription of the species. Also, the type material of "Phoca" ...
Heading south or north: novel insights on European silver eel Anguilla anguilla migration in the North Sea Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee
The European eel Anguilla anguilla L. is a critically endangered fish species that migrates from coastal and freshwater habitats to the Sargasso Sea to spawn. However, the exact migration routes and destination of European eel are still unknown. We are the first to observe southward migrating silver eels in the North Sea. Eels were tagged with acoustic transmitters in 3 different river catchments in Western Europe and swam to the Dutch-Belgian ...

Validation of North Sea models: sub report 2. The impact of sea level rise on hydrodynamics: North Sea and Scheldt estuary Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium
The influence of Sea Level Rise (SLR) on the tidal characteristics in the North Sea and in the Scheldt estuary is evaluated in a scenario analysis for three scenarios of SLR: 1 m, 2 m and 3 m respectively. DCSMv6-ZUNOv4 and SCALDIS are selected as the modelling instruments. The models are run for 2 spring-neap cycles in 2015 without wind and pressure forcing (purely harmonic run).

A risk assessment of the effects of mercury on Baltic Sea, Greater North Sea and North Atlantic wildlife, fish and bivalves Universiteit Antwerpen
A wide range of species, including marine mammals, seabirds, birds of prey, fish and bivalves, were investigated for potential population health risks resulting from contemporary (post 2000) mercury (Hg) exposure, using novel risk thresholds based on literature and de novo contamination data. The main geographic focus is on the Baltic Sea, while data from the same species in adjacent waters, such as the Greater North Sea and North Atlantic, were ...
Potential and use of archaeological and historical data for a reconstruction of the sea level curve of the last 3000 years in the coastal zone of the southern North Sea. Results of a case study Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper demonstrates that methodologies from various disciplines can be utilised to explain the coastal development of the southern North Sea during the last 3000 years. The potential and uses of archaeological data are tested against the applicability of delivering data for reconstructing sea level or local water level curves. Geology, archaeology, and historical geography are disciplines that assess changes in absolute and regional sea ...
