Improving Hydrological Models of The Netherlands Using ALOS PALSAR

In this paper the improvement of the hydrological model metaSWAP of The Netherlands, with respect to soil moisture, is studied using remote sensing data. Therefore we investigate the value of ALOS PALSAR data of 2007 in combination with the method of Dubois et al. [1] for measuring volumetric moisture content. Study area is the eastern part of...

Geophysical monitoring of recirculation of leachate on landfill sites in the Netherlands

Geophysical investigations were carried out on two modern landfill sites in the Netherlands. The objective of the geo-electrical and EM31 measurements was to reveal the effect of recirculation of leachate on homogenising moisture content in the waste to stimulate the process of attenuation. At Vlagheide, geo-electrical and EM31 measurements were...

Automated dispersion mapping of surface waves

With the increasing amount of innovative geophysical sensors and sensor networks there is a need for faster and more controlled data processing and interpretation in order to cope with the abundance of data coming from monitoring systems. In this article, we are presenting a possible method to deal with automated processing of multi-station...

Advances in surface wave methods: Cascaded MASW-SASW

The application of the MASW method in areas that show strong lateral variations in subsurface properties is limited. Traditional SASW may yield a better lateral resolution but the dispersion curves (and thus the subsurface models) obtained with the method may be poor. The joint application of MASW and SASW is proposed to allow for a robust...

Onshore and offshore seismic and lithostratigraphic analysis of a deeply incised Quaternary buried valley system in the Northern Netherlands

High-resolution seismic data (onshore and offshore), geophysical borehole data as well as detailed lithofacies from airlift boreholes were acquired in northern Netherlands on and around the island of Ameland. Marine and land seismic data combined with information from land boreholes have been explored with the objective of providing a...

Seismisch hazard van geïnduceerde aardbevingen: rapportage fase 1

In het kader van de per 1 januari 2003 gewijzigde Mijnbouwwet moeten per 1 januari 2003 seismische risico analyses in het winningsplan opgenomen worden. In het geval van olie- en gaswinning gaat het hierbij om geïnduceerde seismiciteit. Het consortium van partijen bestaand uit Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij B.V., BP Nederland Energie B.V.,...
