“…1). Both areas were originally onshore but became located in the open-marine environment after 6.5 ka BP when the shoreline shifted to the east of these areas (Van Heteren et al, 2002;Rieu et al, 2005). The present study Marine Geology 271 (2010) 198-211 links results from these two earlier studies with a new dataset from the transitional area in between.…”

“…2). As it was flooded, the terrestrial landscape was locally eroded by tidal channels, but for the most part buried by clay and peat in a back-barrier setting (Beets et al, 1995;Rieu et al, 2005). The rapidly rising sea level forced the groundwater table up, stimulating widespread peat growth ('basal peat', starting ∼11 ka BP) as groundwater continued to rise (Vermeer-Louman, 1934;Bennema, 1954;Jelgersma, 1961).…”

“…North of the Rotterdam palaeo-estuary, offshore seismic data and corings showed that back-barrier tidalchannel systems existed before 7 ka BP. Their behaviour was governed by changing tidal amplitudes, rates of SLR and sediment supply (Rieu et al, 2005;Fig. 1).…”

“…Although useful in providing the overall geological setting of sites or transects, they could not provide the detail required by the modern end user. In recent years, dense 2D seismic grids, particularly near the coast, and 3D seismic time slices have allowed us to zoom in to the sub-km scale (Rieu et al, 2005;Fitch et al, 2005;Fig. 11).…”

ScopePursuant to a new law that will become effective in 2015, DINO, the national Dutch subsurface database operated by the Geological Survey of the Netherlands, is to become an official government register (a 'key register' / basisregistratie). In facing the responsibilities associated with this new status, the Survey is reconsidering and redesigning its operation and in that process a new, or at least sharper picture is emerging of geological surveying in the future.These developments set the final stages of a process of modernisation that geological survey organisations all over the world are currently entangled in (Allen, 2003;Jackson, 2010). Most surveys are replacing paper archives that were built in the AbstractOver the last ten to twenty years, geological surveys all over the world have been entangled in a process of digitisation. Their paper archives, built over many decades, have largely been replaced by electronic databases. The systematic production of geological map sheets is being replaced by 3D subsurface modelling, the results of which are distributed electronically. In the Netherlands, this transition is both being accelerated and concluded by a new law that will govern management and utilisation of subsurface information. Under this law, the Geological Survey of the Netherlands has been commissioned to build a key register for the subsurface: a single national database for subsurface data and information, which Dutch government bodies are obliged to use when making policies or decisions that pertain to, or can be affected by the subsurface. This requires the Survey to rethink and redesign a substantial part of its operation: from data acquisition and interpretation to delivery. It has also helped shape our view on geological surveying in the future.The key register, which is expected to start becoming operational in 2015, will contain vast quantities of subsurface data, as well as their interpretation into 3D models. The obligatory consultation of the register will raise user expectations of the reliability of all information it contains, and requires a strong focus on confidence issues. Building the necessary systems and meeting quality requirements is our biggest challenge in the upcoming years. The next step change will be towards building 4D models, which represent not only geological conditions in space, but also processes in time such as subsidence, anthropogenic effects, and those associated with global change.Keywords: Netherlands, applied geoscience, hydrogeology, geological surveying, mapping, geomodelling, geodatabase Netherlands Journal of Geosciences -Geologie en Mijnbouw | 92 -4 | 217-241 | 2013 217 course of many decades by electronic databases; many surveys started producing electronically distributed 3D subsurface models in addition to or instead of 2D geological maps that were their primary output since their establishment.
