Van Gils, A. (author)The coastal area is a dynamic environment that suffers from human interventions and climate change. This requires extensive research and monitoring of the coastal areas. Measurement systems play a key role in the monitoring. Current velocities are for example often measured to investigate local hydrodynamics. At the moment the ADCP is often used...master thesis 2014

Van Verseveld, H.C.W. (author)Hurricane Sandy (2012), which made landfall in New Jersey on October 29th, made devastating impact on the East Coast of the USA and struck major parts of New York City, including the economic centre of Manhattan. The total damage (in the USA and Caribbean) is in excess of 100 billion US$ with estimates ranging between 78 and 97 billion US$ for...master thesis 2014

Kolijn, D.J. (author)The following research focuses on artificial underwater structures (a.k.a. artificial reefs) in a coral reef environment to mitigate the natural and anthropogenic pressures which reef systems are increasingly facing worldwide. The research question is stated as: “Establishing a method to determine if a multipurpose artificial underwater...master thesis 2014

Stam, G.N. (author)Recently, nourishments have been carried out on a large scale to counteract the on-going erosion along the Dutch Coast. The main advantage of these large beach extensions is that large stretches of coastline are protected for a long time scale (e.g. 20 years), which decreases the frequency of nourishing significantly. This is not only cost...master thesis 2014

Van der Biezen, T.F. (author)Historically, the coastal zone has always attracted people and across the globe the benefits of inlet systems have made communities settle there. The Tu Hien inlet and the Tam Giang–Cau Hai lagoon system in Vietnam are no exception, as approximately half a million people depend on it for their livelihood. Tidal inlets are also known for their...master thesis 2014

Willems, J.A. (author)At the construction of 'Maasvlakte 2' in 2012, two sand closures were constructed. Sand is in most cases the most profiting construction material. The processes and the amount of sand losses which occur during the construction of a closure contain large uncertainties. In order to construct a closure, the production of sand has to be larger than...master thesis 2013

Liu, S. (author)This study is aiming to improve the understanding of hydrodynamic circulation in large shallow lakes. The Lake Taihu, the third largest lake in east China, is picked up as the study area for three reasons. The basin of Lake Taihu is considered as the most populated and developed area as a backyard of Shanghai. Lake Taihu is a typical shallow...master thesis 2013

Tavouktsoglou, N.S. (author)Wave transmission is a very important design parameter for submerged porous breakwater design, as it defines the dimensions of the breakwater as well as the cost and construction process. The spatial distribution of the wave transmission parameter influences the current pattern on the lee of the breakwater and therefore the sediment transport...master thesis 2013

Sirks, E.E. (author)A new approach in coastal maintenance is the application of a large scale nourishment as natural feeder of the coast. The Sand Motor constructed near Kijkduin on the Holland Coast is a pilot project of this new nourishment strategy. The objective of this research is to contribute to a better understanding of the sediment transport processes at...master thesis 2013

Lin, C.H. (author)The yearly floods of the Mekong Delta caused by the Mekong River have been considered a blessing; it purifies the agricultural lands and deposits a fresh layer of silt on the surface, which keeps the delta fertile. However, the growing demand for agricultural products internationally and nationally has pushed the farmers to harvest all year long...master thesis 2013

Huibregtse, W.P. (author)This thesis focusses on the north-eastward shifting beach at Brouwersdam, which poses a problem for users and stakeholders of the beach. This trend is likely to continue in the foreseeable future and could result in a beach that can no longer fulfil its current functions, like recreation and tourism. Analysis of bathymetric data from the last...master thesis 2013

Iason Chalmoukis, A. (author)In this study, a probabilistic vulnerability assessment to the impact of storms in the coast of Thrace, Greece was carried out. To this end, the methodology presented by Bosom and Jiménez (2011) has been applied with some modifications. The introduced modifications, for this work, were the use of a different run-up model to deal with the...master thesis 2013

Notenboom, P.D. (author)The goal of a sediment tracer is to give quantitative or relative feedback on (coastal) morphological changes or track either sediment or other particles (e.g. contaminations) in sediment dynamic environments. A sediment tracer is a visible or invisible marked (sediment) grain that is artificially injected or is present in-situ. This Master...master thesis 2013

Martens, D. (author)East Coast Park is a 15 km long coastal park along the southeast coast of Singapore. It is built on entirely reclaimed land and comprises a sandy shoreline. The beaches along this shoreline are formed due to the implementation of anthropogenic structures all along this stretch of coast through so-called headland control. These structures were...master thesis 2013

Hopmans, R. (author)For many applications in the field of coastal engineering 2D-morphological models are being applied. Due to the large computational effort these models demand it is nearly impossible to include a full wave climate in long-term morphological modeling. This has asked for waveclimate reduction methods in order to reduce the input and consequently...master thesis 2013

Spruit, R.M. (author)The objective of this study is to determine for which conditions the bypass capacity is optimized in combination with a limited influence on the navigational function of the harbour. The bypass capacity is defined as the capacity to bypass the sediment around the harbour under the presence of the defined driving forces (i.e. waves and/or tide)....master thesis 2013

Van der Spek, B.J.T. (author)The objective of this study is to propose a method that is able to deal with data poor environments within coastal studies. Numerical models are useful tools to get insight in the coastal processes of the system being modelled. Inaccurate or poor input data leads to inaccurate or even incorrect model results. By stochastic modelling insight is...master thesis 2013

Bots, O.C.P. (author)=Introduction= Worldwide there is an increasing amount of dredging activities, due to increasing demand for transport of goods over the world. These project are more and more near sensitive nature reserves and thereby a potential threat of biodiversity; which is a major concern for port developers, authorities, environmental organizations and...master thesis 2013

Van der Salm, G.L.S. (author)Coastline modeling with UNIBEST: Areas close to structures In the world of coastline modeling there are several ways to predict coastline development. One of those is with the use of single line modeling software. This kind of modeling is rather basic, straight forward and fast, but it lacks some detail of different processes taking place....master thesis 2013

Ekkelenkamp, H.H.M. (author)The study starts with possible working mechanisms of the tubes within the complex beach system. In addition, huge amounts of data are collected which tells us more about the sedimentology of the beach and soil structure. This data is used later on to study influenced beach processes and morphological change. For this study both the beach near...master thesis 2012
