Description

This dataset was produced as part of the TESTEREP project. ‘TESTEREP: The evolution of the Flemish seascape (5000 BP-present) – Testerep reconstructed for policymaking and public engagement’ is part of the Strategic Basic Research (SBO) program of the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) and ran from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2025 (Ref. S007522N). The project investigated the Holocene and late Quaternary evolution of the Belgian coastal zone. This dataset contains descriptions and pictures of sediment cores acquired using a vibrocorer system onboard of the RV Simon Stevin. Data was collected between June 2022 and June 2024.
