Abstract

A method is presented to evaluate the safety of dunes as a sea defence. The method is based on the dune erosion profile according to VELLINGA combined with a probabilistic approach. Every dune can be tested with this method and it is possible to determine the probability of collapse of a dune whereby the polders are flooded.
