Separated by two phases of regional uplift and subse­ quent erosion, subsidence occurred during the Carboniferous, the Late Permian through Jurassic and the Late Creta­ ceous to Cenozoic. A model with a first phase of important burial during the Westphalian/Stephanian and a second during the Triassic through Middle Jurassic is proposed. For the western and southern wells it appears that maximum coalification was attained immediately after the first stage of burial. For the other wells, especially for those in the northeastern part of the coalfield, maximum thermal maturation may have evolved from the second phase of heating in the Late Jurassic ahd Early Cretaceous. A best fit between calculated and measured coalification data is obtained by a combination of high heat flows and important packages of Late Carboniferous and Early to Middle Jurassic strata. 2 Heat flows of 102-lll mW/m , assumed for Westphalian and Stephanian times, were succeeded by moderate

  • Distribution and Ecology of the Stoneflies (Plecoptera) of Flanders
    Ann. Limnol. - Int. J. Lim. 2008, 44 (3), 203 - 213 Distribution and ecology of the stonefl ies (Plecoptera) of Flanders (Belgium) K. Lock, P.L.M. Goethals Ghent University, Laboratory of Environmental Toxicology and Aquatic Ecology, J. Plateaustraat 22, 9000 Gent, Belgium. Based on a literature survey and the identifi cation of all available collection material from Flanders, a checklist is presented, distribution maps are plotted and the relationship between the occurrence of the different species and water characteristics is analysed. Of the sixteen stonefl y species that have been recorded, three are now extinct in Flanders (Isogenus nubecula, Taen- iopteryx nebulosa and T. schoenemundi), while the remaining species are rare. The occurrence of stonefl ies is almost restricted to small brooks, while observations in larger watercourses are almost lacking. Although a few records may indicate that some larger watercourses have recently been recolonised, these observations consisted of single specimens and might be due to drift. Most stonefl y population are strongly isolated and therefore extremely vulnerable. Small brooks in the Campine region (northeast Flanders), which are characterised by a lower pH and a lower conductivity, contained a different stonefl y community than the small brooks in the rest of Flanders. Leuctra pseudosignifera, Nemoura marginata and Protonemura intricata are mainly found in small brooks in the loamy region, Amphinemura standfussi, Isoperla grammatica, Leuctra fusca, L. hippopus, N. avicularis and P. meyeri mainly occur in small Campine brooks, while L. nigra, N. cinerea and Nemurella pictetii can be found in both types. Nemoura dubitans can typically be found in stagnant water fed with freatic water.

  • The Campine Plateau 12 Koen Beerten, Roland Dreesen, Jos Janssen and Dany Van Uytven
    The Campine Plateau 12 Koen Beerten, Roland Dreesen, Jos Janssen and Dany Van Uytven Abstract Once occupied by shallow and wide braided channels of the Meuse and Rhine rivers around the Early to Middle Pleistocene transition, transporting and depositing debris from southern origin, the Campine Plateau became a positive relief as the combined result of uplift, the protective role of the sedimentary cover, and presumably also base level fluctuations. The escarpments bordering the Campine Plateau are tectonic or erosional in origin, showing characteristics of both a fault footwall in a graben system, a fluvial terrace, and a pediment. The intensive post-depositional evolution is attested by numerous traces of chemical and physical weathering during (warm) interglacials and glacials respectively. The unique interplay between tectonics, climate, and geomorphological processes led to the preservation of economically valuable natural resources, such as gravel, construction sand, and glass sand. Conversely, their extraction opened new windows onto the geological and geomorphological evolution of the Campine Plateau adding to the geoheritage potential of the first Belgian national park, the National Park Hoge Kempen. In this chapter, the origin and evolution of this particular landscape is explained and illustrated by several remarkable geomorphological highlights.

The rate at which low-lying sandy areas in temperate regions, such as the Campine area (NE Belgium), have been 14 eroding during the Quaternary is a matter of debate. Current knowledge on the average pace of landscape evolution in the Campine area is largely based on geological inferences and modern analogies. We applied Bayesian inversion to an in-situ 16 produced 10Be concentration depth profile in fluvial sand, sampled on top of the Campine Plateau, and inferred the average long-term erosion rate together with three other parameters, i.e., the surface exposure age, inherited 10Be concentration and 18 sediment bulk density. The inferred erosion rate of 44 ± 9 mm/kyr (1σ) is relatively large in comparison with landforms that erode under comparable (palaeo-)climates elsewhere in the world.
