Abstract

Over the years, a large amount of data has become available regarding the (Holocene) evolution of the Rhine-Meuse delta, the Netherlands. This dataset, that is a result of a long-standing effort of data collection by Utrecht University, most likely is without a counterpart anywhere else in the world. It is the aim of this book: * to give a state of the art overview of the palaeogeographic evolution of the Rhine-Meuse delta, with an emphasis on the Holocene evolution; * to present the Holocene geology and palaeogeography in new detailed maps; * to present the 14C and other data that were used to determine the ages of the Holocene channel belts; * to make available many details of the work that has been carried out in the Rhine-Meuse delta to a larger (and international) audience. In Chapter 5, section 5.1 The geological-geomorphological map and palaeogeographic maps of the Rhine-Meuse delta, gives some technical information about the geological-geomorphological map (Addendum 1), the series of palaeogeographical maps (Addendum 2) and the GIS of the channel belt fragments that underlies it. In section 5.2 the longitidunal (w-e) cross-section of the delta is briefly explained, as well as the way in which it was constructed. The geological-geomorphological maps shows the ages of the Holocene channel belts, organized in 500 yr time intervals. The palaeogeographic maps siers shows the development of the channel belt network of the delta, based on the age determinations of the channel belts. The maps of are believed to be accurate to within ±200 yr, based on mapping and 14C dating. All radiocarbon dates that are used to construct the map, and that are of geological interest are incorporated in Appendix 1 and 2. In Appendix 3 details of the various channel belts indicated on the map are given, including dating evidence and references. Appendix 4 summarizes dating results, both as 14C ages and as calendar year ages (calibrated 14C ages). [Abstract based on chapter 10 Summary, in Berendsen & Stouthamer 2001
