| Abstract |
The interrelationship of the different depositional sedimentary environments in their areal distribution and through time has been investigated in a sandy area of the Western coastal plain of Belgium. The sandy area is used to be interpreted as the result of one single post-Roman erosive phenomenon. The study of the entire Holocene sequence and the three-dimensional view of it showed the existence of a depression in the pre-Holocene surface where initially a tidal flat came into being in which tidal channels developed. The erosive actions of these tidal channels however were restricted to different distinct places and depth. |
