What moves European sea bass? Understanding the drivers of spatiotemporal patterns in habitat use and migration of Dicentrarchus labrax in the southern North Sea in support of fisheries management. Ghent University
The poor state of the data-deficient European seabass in the southern North Sea calls for an informed fisheries management to protect the intertwined socio-economic and ecological stakes at risk. The highly mobile Dicentrarchus labrax is known to move from shallow, inshore feeding grounds in summer to deeper waters offshore in search of warmer temperatures in winter for spawning. Knowledge on these spatiotemporal changes in movement behaviour ...
A cost-efficient methodology for quantitative provenance analysis and mass budget studies in clastic sedimentary geology (southern North Sea Basin). KU Leuven
Sedimentary provenance analysis attempts to uncover the different sources of a sediment deposited in a certain sedimentary basin, recently or in geological history. Different aspects of the sediment composition, such as bulk petrography, heavy mineral composition or single grain geochemistry can provide clues to determine the source areas. Based on these data, a quantitative mixing model can be constructed describing the proportion of ...
The calm before the storm? Biotic responses to climate and environmental change in the final chapter of the Cretaceous Period Vrije Universiteit Brussel
caused the sudden biodiversity decline known as the CretaceousPaleogene boundary mass extinction, various studies have
suggested that gradual, but distinct, environmental changes related
to the terminal Cretaceous phase of the Deccan Traps Large Igneous
Province led to an accumulation of ecological stress in the last 0.5

Habitability to climate change beyond the point of no-return: co-designing adaptation plans, loss and damage and exploring relocation strategies with communities in Small Island Developing States. University of Antwerp
Recovering a Neglected Critical Tradition: The Victorian and Modernist Critique of Newman's Religious Apologetic and its Contemporary Significance. KU Leuven
John Henry Newman (1801-1890) was one of the most important and original religious thinkers of the nineteenth century. He rose to fame in the early 1830s, as one of the leaders of the Tractarian Movement, a lastingly influential campaign to revitalize the Church of England. After he converted to the Church of Rome in 1845, he became one of the most renowned – even notorious – Catholics of the Victorian era. He was created Cardinal in 1879, ...
Combining geological constraints and modelling to reconstruct the Late Quaternary climate and sea-level history in Dronning Maud Land and Princess Elizabeth Land, East Antarctica Ghent University
The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) is probably the largest unknown in identifying regional contributions to the global budget of postglacial sea-level rise Given the huge volume of the EAIS and indications of a more dynamic behaviour than often assumed, this information is crucial for estimating its contribution to future sea-level changes The overall objective is to improve our understanding of the climatic and glacial history of the EAIS ...
