Jolivet, L. (author), Gorini, C. (author), Smit, J. (author), Leroy, S. (author)Deep seismic profiles and subsidence history of the Gulf of Lion margin reveal an intense stretching of the distal margin and strong postrift subsidence, despite weak extension of the onshore and shallow offshore portions of the margin. We revisit this evolution from the geological interpretation of an unpublished multichannel seismic profile...article 2015

Fokker, P.A. (author), Visser, J. (author)We report a field study on solution mining of magnesium chloride from bischofite layers in the Netherlands at depths between 1500 and 1850 m. Subsidence that was observed in the area is due to part of the brine production being realized by cavern squeeze; some of which were connccted. Wc used an earlier developed inversion scheme to quantify the...conference paper 2014

Fokker, P.A. (author), van Wees, J.D. (author)We investigated the impact of the exploitation of a geothermal well doublet on surface movement. We found that the largest effect should be expected from the progressive cooling of the reservoir, through the thermo-elastic coupling. The absolute value of the expected subsidence is low, but possibly measureable if circumstances are favourite. In...conference paper 2014

(author)The North Sea subsurface shows the marks of long-term tectonic subsidence. Much of it contains a thick record of glacial and interglacial deposits and landscapes, formed during multiple glacial cycles and the associated regressions and transgressions during the past two million years. At times of lower sea level than today, areas that are...article 2014

Vonhögen-Peeters, L.M. (author), van Heteren, S. (author), Wiersma, A.P. (author), de Kleine, M.P.E. (author), Marges, V.C. (author)During the last millennium, human intervention has had an increasing impact on the bathymetry of the Wadden Sea. The significance of these human-induced changes for the decadal-scale development of the Wadden Sea in light of natural sediment dynamics is still unknown. We compared a series of 20 th-century bathymetric grids and the top of the...article 2013

(author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)Subsidence can be induced by hydrocarbon production, due to the decrease in pore pressure in the reservoir which causes the reservoir to compact. The subsidence at any point on the surface is a result of the compaction over a large area of the reservoir. The properties of the reservoir and thus the compaction are uncertain. Therefore, an...conference paper 2010

(author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)The Orange Basin offshore southwest Africa appears to represent a classical example of continental rifting and break up associated with large-scale, transient volcanism. The presence of lower crustal bodies of high seismic velocities indicates that large volumes of igneous crust formed as a consequence of lithospheric extension. We present...article 2010

Nepveu, M. (author), Kroon, I.C. (author), Fokker, P.A. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)We present a general framework that enables decision-making when a threshold in a process is about to be exceeded (an event). Measurements are combined with prior information to update the probability of such an event. This prior information is derived from the results of an ensemble of model realisations that span the uncertainty present in the...article 2010

(author)The low-lying part of The Netherlands is very vulnerable in terms of surface subsidence due to peat oxidation and peat/clay compaction. To gain knowledge about this kind of subsidence and the factors driving it, a study was performed in which as many surface elevation data were collected as possible and processed to obtain a subsidence map....conference paper 2010

Muntendam-Bos, A.G. (author), Fokker, P.A. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)In an attempt to derive more information on the parameters driving compaction, this paper explores the feasibility of a method utilizing data on compaction-induced subsidence. We commence by using a Bayesian inversion scheme to infer the reservoir compaction from subsidence observations. The method's strength is that it incorporates all the...article 2009

Coastal and river plains are the surfaces of depositional systems, to which sediment input is a parameter of key-importance.

Fokker, P.A. (author), Orlic, B. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)This paper presents a forward model for subsidence prediction caused by extraction of hydrocarbons. The model uses combinations of analytic solutions to the visco-elastic equations, which approximate the boundary conditions. There are only a few unknown parameters to be estimated, and, consequently, calculations are very fast. The semi-analytic...article 2006
