In 2012 verloren we Jean Jacques Peters, voormalig ingenieur van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium (1964 tot 1979) en internationaal expert in sedimenttransport, rivierhydraulica en -morfologie. Als eerbetoon aan hem hebben we potamology (http://www.potamology.com/) gecreëerd, een virtueel gedenkarchief dat als doel heeft om zijn manier van denken en morfologische aanpak van rivierproblemen in de wereld in stand te houden en te verspreiden.
Het merendeel van z’n werk hebben we toegankelijk gemaakt via onderstaande zoekinterface.

The new Coastal and Ocean Basin (COB, cob.ugent.be) in the Flanders Maritime Laboratory, Ostend (Belgium), is the latest tool that will support the scientific community in their effort to tackle climate change and come up with countermeasures to protect coastal communities and offshore investments. The COB will be able to reproduce wave, current, and wind conditions, offering an unprecedented opportunity for researchers and consultants to take a closer look at ocean hydrodynamics, and the structural response of coastal and offshore structures. Also, it enables them to advance marine renewable energy technologies, and to validate numerical models. Construction of the COB started in 2017, and the facility is expected to be operational by end of 2021.
