Kuai, Y. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Intertidal flats are of great socio-economic and ecological importance in defending the coastal cities from flooding, providing resources for land reclamations and habits for wildlife. On the intertidal flats, milder profiles are usually featured with finer sediment. However, we find the opposite relationship between the alongshore variation in...journal article 2023

Schoutens, Ken (author), Stoorvogel, Marte (author), van den Berg, M. (author), van den Hoven, Kim (author), Bouma, Tjeerd J. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author), van Loon-Steensma, Jantsje M. (author), Meire, Patrick (author)Nature-based strategies, such as wave attenuation by tidal marshes, are increasingly proposed as a complement to mitigate the risks of failure of engineered flood defense structures such as levees. However, recent analysis of historic coastal storms revealed smaller dike breach dimensions if there were natural, high tidal marshes in front of...journal article 2022

Kuai, Y. (author), Tao, Jianfeng (author), Zhou, Z. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Tidal flats play an important role in promoting coastal biodiversity, defense against flooding, land reclamation and recreation. Many coastal tidal flats, especially the tide-dominant ones, are muddy. However, the number of studies on the profile shape and surficial sediment distribution of muddy tidal flats is small compared to sandy beaches....journal article 2021

De Schipper, M.A. (author), De Vries, S. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), De Zeeuw, R.C. (author), Rutten, J. (author), Ruessink, B.G. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), Van Gelder-Maas, C. (author)Large (mega-scale) nourishments have been proposed as a promising alternative for traditional beach and shoreface nourishments, especially for locations with large structural erosion and sufficient sediment to dredge. This paper examines the initial bathymetric evolution of the Sand Engine, a mega-nourishment of 17 million m3 protruding almost 1...conference paper 2014

Vijverberg, T. (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), Drost, H. (author)Lake Markermeer is a large (680 km2), shallow body of water in the middle of the Netherlands, with a mean water depth of 3.6 m. One of the major problems in the lake is its decreasing ecological value which is, among other reasons, caused by a gradual increase of suspended sediment concentration and associated increase of light attenuation in...journal article 2010
