  • Holocene Alluvial Sediment Deposition in Contrasting Environments in Northwestern Europe
    298 Sediment Dynamics in Changing Environments (Proceedings of a symposium held in Christchurch, New Zealand, December 2008). IAHS Publ. 325, 2008. Holocene alluvial sediment deposition in contrasting environments in northwestern Europe B. NOTEBAERT & G. VERSTRAETEN Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, K.U. Leuven, Celestijnenlaan 200E, B-3001 Leuven, Belgium [email protected] Abstract The total mass of Holocene alluvial sediment storage was estimated for three Belgian catchments (Dijle, Gulp and Amblève), with areas ranging between 47 and 1070 km2. The Dijle and Gulp catchments have comparable, rather intensive, land-use histories, while the land use in the Amblève catchment is less intensive and developed more recently. Topography is more pronounced in the Amblève catchment and more gentle in the Dijle catchment. In total, 1070 hand augerings were made to study fluvial deposition at 96 cross-sections across the flood plain. Average flood-plain deposition masses for the different catchments were calculated at different spatial scales. The results show that alluvial sediment storage is much higher for the Dijle catchment (464 103 Mg/km2 catchment area) compared to the Gulp (128 103 Mg/km2) and Amblève catchment (33 103 Mg/km2). Comparison with other data from West European catchments shows that alluvial sediment storage is much larger for the Dijle catchment, while that for the Amblève is very low. These differences between catchments can be attributed to their land-use history. Land use plays a role in both the soil erosion rates and in the sediment transport towards the fluvial system. Radiocarbon dating results for the Dijle flood plain indicate that major changes in land use are responsible for changing flood plain sedimentation.

De heffing en inning van deze gecom- bineerde belastingaanslag wordt verzorgd door BsGW Belastingsamenwerking Gemeenten en Waterschappen. De gemeente werkt met ingang van 1 januari 2014 met andere gemeenten en de waterschappen samen in de gemeenschappelijke regeling BsGW. Gemeenten en waterschappen verwerken als zelfstandige overheden ieder hun eigen belastingen. Beide organisaties voeren voor de heffing en invordering van hun belastingen nagenoeg dezelfde processen uit. Ook maken zij voor een belangrijk deel gebruik van dezelfde gegevens en gege- vensbronnen. Samenwerking tussen waterschappen en gemeenten biedt dan ook veel voordelen: veel werk wordt niet meer dubbel gedaan en de belastingheffing wordt efficiënter en dus op den duur goedkoper.

    41. PLT Theater, Burgemeester Van Grunsvenplein 145 bouwjaar 1961 architect Frits Peutz/Bernard Bijvoet stijl Modernisme De voormalige Stadsschouwburg Heerlen draagt nu de naam Theater Heerlen en maakt deel uit van de Parkstad Limburg Theaters. Het gebouw beschikt over drie zalen een theatercafé́ en een foyer waar kan worden opgetreden. De grote zaal is, met een capaciteit van 1.057 zitplaatsen, de grootste theaterzaal van Limburg. In de vrije, strakke architectuur van de buitenkant overheerst het verticale, als tegenwicht voor de horizontale lijnen van de omliggende flats. De inspringende, donker gehouden onderbouw is hier medeverantwoordelijk voor. De rekwisieten- en decortoren is in de theater-architectuur vaak dominant aanwezig maar is hier een nauwelijks opvallend element. Uitnodigend is de grote raam- en vensterpartij in het front, gemaakt van aluminium en in beton gevat. Het wat bonkige gebouw verwijst met zijn ondoorzichtige vliesgevels en door het ontbreken van uitbundige versieringen naar de industriële architectuur in de ‘mijntijd’ Ir. Bijvoet was verantwoordelijk voor de inrichting van de grote zaal. Verschillende andere schouwburgen in Nederland waren in die jaren van zijn hand. Slijtage en het niet meer voldoen aan de huidige wet- en regelgeving maakten een ingrijpende restauratie en renovatie van de schouwburg noodzakelijk. Het gerenoveerde theater is in 2013 opgeleverd. 42.

He is married and has two children. Arets' work is generally characterized by a minimalistgeometric and austere approach that responds to local contingencies in a flexible way, with Arets explaining:. Subsequently, Arets organized the first European exhibition of Tadao Ando's work. With the decline of industry the city lost most of its status as an industrial area in Limburg and Frits Peutz faded from architectural prominence. As a student Arets undertook extensive research in the archives of Peutz's office, eventually producing the monograph 'F. J Peutz Architekt ' and an accompanying traveling exhibition. While in Japan Arets visited and interviewed several prominent architects including Fumihiko MakiKazuo ShinoharaItsuko Hasegawa and Tadao Andolater publishing these interviews and articles in the Dutch architecture magazine de Architect. All of this was achieved without abandoning for the moment the minimalist expression of an architecture degree zero, derived in part from Sol LeWitt and in part from Tadao Ando. In Arets completed the library of Utrecht Universitysituated in the Uithof area of the campus designed by OMA which dictated a strict orthogonal requirement for all buildings.
