Detection of aeolian sand strips and their characteristics using terrestrial laser scanning: The dependency between aeolian sand strip development and the environmental conditions occurring at the Noordwijk beach

Sea level rise causes more difficulties for coastal maintenance. Although hard structures were built in the past to prevent for flooding, nature based solutions are preferred more recently. For the application of nature based solutions, a better understanding of the coastal processes is desired. Dry sand is transported towards the dunes by...
