Description

This dataset was produced as part of the TESTEREP project. ‘TESTEREP: The evolution of the Flemish seascape (5000 BP-present) – Testerep reconstructed for policymaking and public engagement’ is part of the Strategic Basic Research (SBO) program of the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) and ran from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2025 (Ref. S007522N). The project investigated the Holocene and late Quaternary evolution of the Belgian coastal zone. This dataset contains parametric sub-bottom profiler data acquired using an Innomar SES-2000 Quattro system onboard of the RV Simon Stevin, the workboat Abbé Mann, the USV Gobelijn and the Last Freedom. Data was collected between January 2022 and November 2024.
