The '''Manual Sediment Transport Measurements in Rivers, Estauries and Coastal Seas'''  is a volume of about 500 pages containing all details of measurement instruments and methods for mud, silt and sand transport in rivers, estuaries and coastal seas. The manual includes: definitions and measuring principles and errors involved, methods to compute sediment transport from measured data, a wide range of instruments from simple mechanical samplers to sophisticated electronic equipment. [[Bed load]] transport as well as [[suspended load]] transport are addressed. Methods and instruments to measure particle size and particle fall velocity are discussed. Laboratory and [[in-situ]] sample analysis are described. Instrumentation for determining the wet bulk density of bed material (important for dredging studies) is presented. [[Remote sensing]] by video camera recording is also discussed. Regular updates of the methods and instrumentation are made.

Compendium for Coast and Sea - creating a marine science-policy interface


The Compendium for Coast and Sea is an integrated knowledge document about the socio-economic, environmental and institutional aspects of the coast and sea in Flanders and Belgium. As such, it constitutes a one-stop shop for data and information from the Flemish and Belgian marine and maritime research community and experts. The Compendium for Coast and Sea is an initiative of the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) and was developed in close collaboration with experts from the research community, government, industry and civil society organisations. The first version of the Compendium was launched in 2013, a second edition was presented in 2015.
