J. Sea Res, 18(3-4):17%528; 18 papers. In the aftermath of an extreme storm that flooded The Netherlands in 1953, Grevelingen Estuary's connection to the rivers Rhine and Meuse was closed by an upstream dam (1964) and its connection to the North Sea closed by a downstream dam (1971).
Underwater sluices have now reopened the downstream (1978) and upstream (1983) dams permitting an artificial flow regime for Lake Grevelingen. These large-scale changes provided a unique research opportunity and since 1972 the evolution of this ecosystem has been studied by a number of groups. Gathered here are an interim series of integrated results from the Grevelingen project. The introduction describes the project's history and overviews the changing environment and biota. Seventeen other papers analyze organic matter cycling through examinations of phytoplankton productivity (carbon fixation, chlorophyll a)~ nutrient dynamics, sediment-water exchanges, meiofauna and macrofauna communities.

Reflection curves were common for a variety of sediment types. The most reliable maps were derived from multitemporal principal component analysis of Landsat images, which also correlated well with suspended sediments. (msg)
