(author), Bijleveld, A. I. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)The sediment composition of the seabed governs its mobility, hence determining sediment transport and morphological evolution of estuaries and tidal basins. Bed sediments often consist of mixtures of sand and mud, with spatial gradients in the sand/mud content. This study aims at increasing the understanding of processes driving the sediment...journal article 2022

(author), Van Sluis, Christiaan (author), Govers, Laura L. (author), Simons, D.G. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author), Olff, Han (author), Ysebaert, Tom (author)High-resolution surveying techniques of subtidal soft-bottom seafloor habitats show higher small-scale variation in topography and sediment type than previously thought, but the ecological relevance of this variation remains unclear. In addition, high-resolution surveys of benthic fauna show a large spatial variability in community...journal article 2020

Damveld, J. H. (author), van der Reijden, K. J. (author), Cheng, C. (author), Koop, L. (author), Haaksma, L. R. (author), Walsh, C. A.J. (author), Soetaert, K. (author), Borsje, B. W. (author), Govers, L. L. (author)The sandy seabed of shallow coastal shelf seas displays morphological patterns of various dimensions. The seabed also harbors a rich ecosystem. Increasing pressure from human-induced disturbances necessitates further study on drivers of benthic community distributions over morphological patterns. Moreover, a greater understanding of the sand...journal article 2018
