Abstract
1. Introduction The Neogene state-of-the-art compilation by the Subcommission for Neogene and Paleogene Lithostratigraphy of Belgium, formed an excellent opportunity to collect the data points to which the individual publications refer and to identify these data in the federal and regional databases. Two main data holders provide structured information concerning boreholes and outcrops of the geological subsurface of the northern region of Belgium, where Neogene deposits underlie the Quaternary sediments: (1) the regional Flanders Soil and Subsoil Database (Databank Ondergrond Vlaanderen or DOV), and (2) the federal Geological Survey of Belgium of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (GSB-RBINS). DOV (https://www.dov.vlaanderen.be; 2020) is the public web portal for open data concerning geology, natural resources, soil, hydrogeology, geotechnical characteristics and groundwater licenses of the (sub)soil of Flanders. The Flemish Planning Bureau for the Environment and Spatial Development (VPO) of the Department of Environment & Spatial Development is responsible for the durable management and use of the subsurface, including the natural resources and the deep subsurface (-500 m TAW) (Departement Omgeving, 2020). VPO is also responsible for the geological data and information available on the DOV-platform. In addition, VPO manages the soil data in cooperation with all relevant stakeholders in that domain and coordinates the development of DOV. The GSB-RBINS manages a
期刊介绍:
Geologica Belgica is a Belgian journal that welcomes papers concerning all aspects of the earth sciences, with a particular emphasis on the regional geology of Belgium, North West Europe and central Africa. Papers not dedicated to the geology of Belgium, North West Europe and central Africa are only accepted when one of the authors is linked to a Belgian University or Institution. Thematic issues are highly appreciated. In this case, guest editors take in charge the selection of the manuscripts and the subject of the papers can be enlarged. The journal is in open access.
Submitted manuscripts should be concise, presenting material not previously published. The journal also encourages the publication of papers from Belgian junior authors. Short letters are accepted. Papers written in English are preferred. Each mansucript will be reviewed by at least two reviewers.
