This Neogene Stratigraphy volume of Geologica Belgica is dedicated to Piet Laga at the occasion of his 80th birthday. Piet Laga has been a pioneer of the application of modern stratigraphic principles to the Neogene of Belgium. After his doctoral studies, he continued at the Geological Survey of Belgium his stratigraphical investigations which resulted, in co-authorship with Frans De Meuter, in a landmark paper leading to the establishment of the first, formal stratigraphic framework of the Neogene System in Belgium. As testified by the contributions in this volume, this paper still remains a stratigraphic reference paper. Piet Laga was not only a leading scientist in the International Geological Correlation program of the Cenozoic of the North Sea Basin in the 1970s and 1980s, but he also brought his Neogene stratigraphic insights into practice to improve the groundwater extraction in northern Belgium. In both the fundamental and the applied stratigraphy of the Neogene, he closely collaborated with the Geological Survey of the Netherlands, aligning the Neogene stratigraphy of both countries. He was an excellent liaison between both geological surveys. Also, numerous international professional organisations benefited from his field demonstrations of Neogene outcrops in Belgium. Piet Laga has discretely guided the Geological Survey of Belgium through complex reorganisations, and for years he skilfully rendered services to both the scientific association Geologica Belgica and

GEOLOGICA BELGICA 是一本比利时期刊，欢迎有关地球科学各个方面的论文，特别强调比利时、西北欧和中非的区域地质。仅当其中一位作者与比利时大学或机构有联系时，才接受不致力于比利时、西北欧和中非地质的论文。主题问题受到高度赞赏。在这种情况下，客座编辑负责稿件的选择，可以扩大论文的主题。该期刊是开放获取的。提交的手稿应简明扼要，呈现以前未发表过的材料。该杂志还鼓励比利时初级作者发表论文。接受短字母。以英文撰写的论文为佳。每个手稿将由至少两名审稿人进行审阅。

Geologica Belgica is a Belgian academic journal that welcomes submissions related to all aspects of earth sciences, with a particular emphasis on regional geology in Belgium, Northwestern Europe, and Central Africa. Papers that do not focus on the geology of Belgium, Northwestern Europe, and Central Africa will only be accepted if at least one author is affiliated with a Belgian university or institution. We highly appreciate submissions addressing significant thematic issues. In such cases, guest editors are responsible for the selection of manuscripts and may broaden the scope of the papers. This journal is open access, and submitted manuscripts should be concise and present previously unpublished material. We encourage early-career authors from Belgium to submit their work. Short letters are also accepted. Papers written in English are preferred. Each manuscript will be reviewed by at least two reviewers.
