Sedimentkenmerken van strandzanden op de Belgische kust

The authors review the sedimentological characteristics of superficial beach sands using samples taken every 15 m along two transversal beach profiles separated by a distance of 1 km along the Belgian coast near Klemskerke. The westernmost spot (KP37) has been sampled four months after a beach nourishment with sands supplied from the Ravelingen bank situated at a few kilometers off Ostend. At the sampling time (31-1-'79) strong beach erosion attacked the youngest dunes near by the eastern station (KP 38). Granulometric characteristics and heavy-mineral characteristics (weight of heavy minerals... Mehr ...
