Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
In their paper, Bellwald et al. (2019) present a frequency curve of mass movements from a total of 22 fjords and 6 lakes in west and mid-Norway. However, the time-series analysis that is used to create this frequency curve is somewhat flawed, as mass-transport deposits (MTDs) receive a weight that is positively correlated to their age uncertainty, instead of an equal weight. Here, I propose an alternative frequency curve in which the weight of each MTD is equal, independent of its age uncertainty. I conclude that this error in the frequency curve does not significantly impact the interpretations made by the authors, but that similar errors may lead to wrong interpretations when such a frequency curve would be used in a quantitative manner. |
