Description :
During the past 2 years (1982-1984) a new investigation program has been directed by Dr. G. De Moor (De Moor, 1985) in which sampling was restricted to the sand ridges and swales of the Flemish Banks area (Kwinte Bank, Buiten Ratel Bank, Oost Dyck, Negenvaam, Kwinte geul, Ratel geul, Oost Dyck geul). Some 320 samples of the superficial sediments were taken with a Van Veen bottom sampler. This dense sample net in a relative small area has allowed us to obtain a good picture of the distribution of the sediments on a rather large scale. Each sample was analysed and different grain-size parameters were calculated.
