History

Development of ScheldeMonitor

In 2004, ScheldeMonitor has gone online as information system for research and monitoring in the Scheldt estuary. In addition to providing access to information, there has also been a focus on data and products related to the Scheldt estuary from 2010 onwards. Since 2014, a fifth phase has started. This phase includes new developments to the data portal of ScheldeMonitor, the O&M archive and the opening up and redistribution of data and data products. Through this vision, ScheldeMonitor envisions a better support for the Working Group Research and Monitoring and the MONEOS Monitoring Program.
