The recurrence rate of North Sea tsunamis may be underestimated due to the nature of its basin and coastlines, characterised either by limited accommodation space or by poor preservation of event deposits due to erosion or anthropogenic reworking.

Human land use and in particular deforestation has changed ecosystem pattern and processes of most of the terrestrial biosphere. It is therefore one of the elements used to define the Anthropocene, a new geological epoch characterised by anthropogenic changes in the Earth’s system.

Over geological times, biological crises and diversification events have fashioned the evolutionary history of plants and animals. Palaeontologists usually interpret the evolutionary success of a lineage and its demise in direct relation to environmental variations, including its food web and climate changes.

The evolutionary history of vertebrates began, at the latest, during the early Cambrian (c. 520 Myr) with the first occurrence of laterally flattened soft-bodied organisms known as chordates, possessing a notochord (the forerunner of the vertebral column) but devoid of backbone and jaw.

The object of the study is the provision of services related to the determination of the technical and economic potential of shallow geothermal energy (less than 500m) for the production of heat and cold in Wallonia on one hand, and on the other hand to carry out two maps of the geothermal potential (according to the target audience) of Wallonia

Renewable hydrogen combined with large scale underground storage enables transportation of energy through time, balancing out the impacts of variable renewable energy production. While storing pure hydrogen in salt caverns has been practiced since the 70s in Europe, it has never been carried out anywhere in depleted fields or aquifers.

LEILAC2 will build a Demonstration Plant that will intend to separate 20% of a regular plant’s process emissions –around 100 ktpa of CO2. This aims to also demonstrate the overall efficiency of the technology, as the reactor will be integrated into the kiln line in a kind of second preheater string configuration.

Cephalopods (Class Cephalopoda, Phylum Mollusca) are amongst the most diverse, intelligent, and rapidly evolving marine invertebrates that have explored a multitude of evolutionary pathways since their entry point more than 500 myr ago.

The H3O-De Voorkempen project aims to develop a (hydro)geological 3-dimensional model of the subsoil of the border region of the Voorkempen. The cross-border character of the modeling is central. The clastic part of the Cenozoic is modeled in the Flemish and Dutch part of the border region.
