Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), Allewijn, R. (author), Kleij, A.M. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Baptist, M.J. (author)With 80% of the world's population living in lowland urban areas by 2050, sea levels gradually rising and societal demands on the quality of living increasing, sustainable development of coastal zones becomes increasingly urgent as well as complex. Modern strategies for the design and implementation of measures for infrastructure development,...conference paper 2012

Radermacher, M. (author), Wengrove, M. (author), Van Thiel de Vries, J.S.M. (author), Holman, R. (author)In the framework of swimmer safety, coastal managers desire accurate nearshore current predictions obtained from numerical models. To this end, detailed and up-to-date bathymetry is a necessity. Remote sensing techniques for bathymetry estimation are a promising solution. The focus of this paper is to assess the performance of wavenumberbased...conference paper 2014

Kaji, A.O. (author), Luijendijk, A.P. (author), van Thiel de Vries, J.S.M. (author), De Schipper, M.A. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)The Sand Motor is a pilot project of a ‘mega-nourishment’ built in the Dutch coast in 2011. In order to understand which conditions reshape those mega-nourishments the influence of different types of forcing on the longshore sediment transport along the Sand Motor has been assessed in this paper using a process-based model. The use of numerical...conference paper 2014

(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

(author)The presence of complex nearshore sand bar patterns (i.e. alongshore bathymetric variability) has an impact on local currents, affecting recreational safety and nearshore mixing processes. This study assesses the evolution of alongshore bathymetric variability along the Delfland coast in The Netherlands, over the first 5 years after construction...conference paper 2017

Huisman, B.J.A. (author), Vargas Solis, Astrid (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), Radermacher, M. (author), Ranasinghe, Roshanka (author)Impact of spatial variability in the nearshore bathymetry on net sediment transport rates has been investigated for a selection of observed beach states at the Dutch coast. The beach states comprise a longshore bar trough and two transverse bar rip situations, which were present at the large scale Sand Motor nourishment at the Holland coast....conference paper 2017
