the goal of this study is to archive, integrate and to (re-)interpret seismic profiles and cores, to perform a seismo-, litho- and chronostratigraphic analyses and to map the Quaternary cover, in order to develop a genetic model for the Quaternary cover, in order to develop a genetic model for the Quaternary geological evolution of the Belgian Continental Shelf in the regional context of the southern North Sea.
