A new setup to study the influence of plant growth on the consolidation of dredged cohesive sedimentBarciela Rial, M. (author), Saaltink, Remon M. (author), van Kessel, Thijs (author), Chassagne, C. (author), Dekker, Stefan C. (author), de Boer, Hugo J. (author), Griffioen, Jasper (author), Wassen, Martin J. (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author)Dredged cohesive sediment is progressively being used for wetland construction. However, little is known about the effect of plant growth during the self-weight consolidation of this sediment. In order to check the feasibility of such a study, a new experimental setup has been constructed. As an example, the effect of Phragmites australis on the...journal article 2023

Muskananfola, Max Rudolf (author), Latifah, Nurul (author), Hartoko, Agus (author), Febrianto, Sigit (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author)The CO2 characteristics of the Semarang Bay system on the Northern coast of Java were investigated to understand the roles in carbon dioxide flux. The flux of carbon dioxide at the sea surface between seawater and atmosphere is essential for mitigating atmospheric CO2. The aims of this study were to assess the variation of CO2 partial...journal article 2023

Colosimo, I. (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), de Vet, P.L.M. (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author), van Prooijen, Bram (author)Intertidal ecosystems are threatened by sea level rise and anthropogenic pressures. Understanding the processes controlling the morphodynamic developments of tidal flats is crucial for sustainable management of these systems. Analysis of three extensive fieldwork campaigns carried out on two adjacent mudflats fringing the Dutch Western Wadden...journal article 2023

(author)The amount of suspended fines in the southern North Sea strongly depends on their exchange with the sandy seabed. This exchange is governed by resuspension of fines during storms, followed by burial in the week thereafter. Despite its importance for fine sediment dynamics, the burial of fines into a sandy seabed is currently not well...journal article 2022

Mathew, R. (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author)Sediment mobility and memory effects distinguish transport and morphodynamics in fine sediment settings from sandy settings. This paper focuses on the morphodynamic modeling of fine sediment systems, and an adaptation of modeling procedures more commonly used in sand-dominated systems. An extensive dataset of short-term transport and...journal article 2022

Barciela Rial, M. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), van Kessel, Thijs (author), Griffioen, Jasper (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author)Progressively, more dredged sediments are being reused for engineering projects. For example, the Marker Wadden is a new wetland constructed in lake Markermeer, the Netherlands, with dredged cohesive sediments originating from the bed of the lake. Such dredged sediments are often dominated by cohesive sediment particles with varying amounts of...journal article 2022

Winterwerp, J.C. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)This paper describes the effects of anthropogenic deepening of tidal rivers in a conceptual way, with focus on tidal distortion and the residual transport of coarse sediment, driven by asymmetries in peak velocity. The rivers under consideration are fairly small, with small river discharge, and may have irregular hypsometry, with substantial...journal article 2021

Gijón Mancheño, A. (author), Jansen, Wiljan (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Mangrove vegetation provides natural protection against coastal hazards like flooding and erosion. In spite of their economic and societal value, mangrove forests have experienced a worldwide decline due to human activities. Bamboo structures, formed by poles driven into the soil, are being used to create a sheltered environment for mangrove...journal article 2021

(author)Mangrove vegetation constitutes a natural coastal defence against waves and erosion. Despite their protective role, mangrove ecosystems have experienced continuous degradation over the last decades due to human causes. At retreating mangrove coastlines, bamboo structures are built to create new habitat for mangrove colonization. Existing...journal article 2021

(author), van Prooijen, Bram (author)Sediment transport over intertidal flats is driven by a combination of waves, tides, and wind-driven flow. In this study we aimed at identifying and quantifying the interactions between these processes. A five week long dataset consisting of flow velocities, waves, water depths, suspended sediment concentrations, and bed level changes was...journal article 2020

(author)We studied the drying behavior of slurries of Markermeer sediments in the Netherlands having different solid compositions. Natural processes such as sand–mud segregation and oxidation of organic matter were mimicked to analyze the effect of changes in sediment composition. Evaporation experiments were performed with soft slurry samples using...journal article 2020

Mathew, R. (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author)Estuarine sediment dynamics are a consequence of various forcings (barotropic, estuarine circulation, and fluvial) that vary in space and time. Here, we present a study examining sediment dynamics in a narrow microtidal estuary, the Lower Passaic River in New Jersey, USA. The analysis incorporates measurements of suspended sediments,...journal article 2020

Barciela Rial, M. (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author), Griffioen, Jasper (author), van Kessel, Thijs (author)Sediment is becoming scarce and fine sediments are progressively used for reclamation projects. Therefore there is an increasing need to use cohesive fine sediments (mud) for land reclamation and nature building. These sediments exhibit larger deformations and consolidation time than sandy sediment, and are therefore more challenging building...abstract 2019

Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author)Over the last few decades, some estuaries have undergone a transition to a hyperturbid state, characterised by suspended sediment concentrations of several grammes per litre averaged over the water column. To improve our understanding of this transition and of naturally hyperturbid estuaries, we systematically identify the processes allowing...journal article 2018
