The formation of the younger dunes on the west coast on the Netherlands (AD 1000-1600)

  • W.H. Zagwijn

Abstract

The formation of the Younger Dunes on the west coast of The Netherlands is discussed in some detail. The onset of overblowing along the beach can be placed around AD 1000. Around AD 1600, the general outline of today's dune morphology was already present except in areas close to the coast. The behaviour of the water table and the sedimentary processes of the Younger Dune formation are dealt with.
