Cellular automaton modelling of the effects of buildings on aeolian bedform dynamics

Poppema, D.W. (author), Baas, Andreas C.W. (author), Hulscher, Suzanne J.M.H. (author), Wijnberg, Kathelijne M. (author)

Buildings affect aeolian sediment transport and bedform development in sandy environments. Cellular automaton (CA) models have, however, only been used to simulate natural bedform dynamics. This study extends a well-known aeolian CA model to include sediment dynamics around buildings, and uses this model to explore the interaction of building...

Beach-dune modelling in support of Building with Nature for an integrated spatial design of urbanized sandy shores

Wijnberg, Kathelijne (author), Poppema, Daan (author), Mulder, Jan (author), van Bergen, J. (author), Campmans, Geert (author), Galiforni-Silva, Filipe (author), Hulscher, Suzanne J.M.H. (author), Pourteimouri, Paran (author)

The long-term physical existence of sandy shores critically depends on a balanced sediment budget. From the principles of Building with Nature it follows that a sustainable protection of sandy shores should employ some form of shore nourishment. In the spatial design process of urbanized sandy shores, where multiple functions must be integrated,...

Urban dunes: Towards BwN design principles for dune formation along urbanized shores

van Bergen, J. (author), Mulder, J. (author), Nijhuis, S. (author), Poppema, D. (author), Wijnberg, K. (author), Kuschnerus, M. (author)

Sandy shores worldwide suffer from coastal erosion due to a lack of sediment input and sea-level rise. In response, coastal sand nourishments are executed using ‘Building with Nature’ techniques (BwN), in which the sand balance is amplified and natural dynamics are instrumental in the redistribution of sand, cross- and alongshore. These...

The effect of building geometry on the size of aeolian deposition patterns: Scale model experiments at the beach

Poppema, Daan W. (author), Wijnberg, Kathelijne M. (author), Mulder, Jan P.M. (author), Vos, S.E. (author), Hulscher, Suzanne J.M.H. (author)

In sandy environments, like the beach-dune system, buildings not only affect the airflow, but also the aeolian sediment transport in their surroundings. In this study, we determine how the horizontal size of sediment deposition patterns around buildings depends on the building's dimensions. Four one-day experiments were conducted at the beach...

Field test of the accuracy of laser particle counters to measure aeolian sediment flux

Duarte Campos, L.A. (author), Wijnberg, Kathelijne M. (author), Hulscher, Suzanne J.M.H. (author)

In this study we tested to what extent grain count data from a laser particle counter, when enriched with granulometric data, can lead to accurate measurements of aeolian sediment fluxes in the field. Field experiments were conducted at Koksijde beach (Belgium) with a vertical array of five Wenglor fork sensors and co-located vertically...

Modelling competing theories

Conradie, Willem (author), Craig, Andrew (author), Palmigiano, A. (author), Wijnberg, Nachoem (author)

We introduce a complete many-valued semantics for two normal lattice-based modal logics. This semantics is based on reflexive many-valued graphs. We discuss an interpretation and possible applications of this logical framework in the context of the formal analysis of the interaction between (competing) scientific theories.

The composition of benthic species communities in the nearshore zone is closely related to the hydrodynamic and morphodynamic conditions. Sustainable management of the coastal ecosystem requires knowledge about the natural dynamics as well as human-induced changes on the ecosystem. To improve our knowledge of the benthic species distribution...

The Logic of Resources and Capabilities

Bílková, Marta (author), Greco, G. (author), Palmigiano, A. (author), Tzimoulis, A. (author), Wijnberg, Nachoem (author)

We introduce the logic LRC, designed to describe and reason about agents’ abilities and capabilities in using resources. The proposed framework bridges two—up to now—mutually independent strands of literature: the one on logics of abilities and capabilities, developed within the theory of agency, and the one on logics of resources, motivated...

ShoreScape: sustainable co-evolution of the natural and built environment along sandy shores

Wijnberg, K.M. (author), Nijhuis, S. (author), Hulscher, SJMH (author), van Bergen, J. (author), Meyer, Han (author), Hoonhout, B. (author), Janssen, M. (author), Hoekstra, J.D. (author), de Groot, A.V. (author), Goessen, P. (author), van Gelder-Maas, C. (author)

The land-sea interface is a very attractive location for humans to settle. In the case of low lying, sedimentary coastlines this can be a risky location, as these shorelines are inherently dynamic in nature. Accelerating rates of relative sea level rise will increase coastal erosion, creating world-wide growing demands for coastal protection...

Connecting subtidal and subaerial sand transport pathways in the Texel inlet system

Wijnberg, Kathelijne (author), van der Spek, Ad (author), Galiforni-Silva, Filipe (author), Elias, Edwin P.L. (author), van der Wegen, Mick (author), Slinger, J (author)

Potential transport pathways between the subtidal and subaerial part of tidal inlet systems are explored by means of a case study of Texel Inlet, The Netherlands. Based on a morphologic analysis of multi-annual, high-resolution bathymetric and topographic data sets we hypothesize that two mechanisms connect the subtidal and subaerial parts of...

Toward an epistemic-logical theory of categorization

Conradie, Willem (author), Frittella, Sabine (author), Palmigiano, A. (author), Piazzai, M. (author), Tzimoulis, A. (author), Wijnberg, Nachoem M. (author)

Categorization systems are widely studied in psychology, sociology, and organization theory as information-structuring devices which are critical to decision-making processes. In the present paper, we introduce a sound and complete epistemic logic of categories and agents' categorical perception. The Kripke-style semantics of this logic is...

The Interplay between Intuition and Rationality in Strategic Decision Making: A Paradox Perspective

Calabretta, G. (author), Gemser, Gerda (author), Wijnberg, NM (author)

Both intuition and rationality can play important roles in strategic decision making. However, a framework that specifically accounts for the interplay between intuition and rationality is still missing. This study addresses this gap by using a paradox lens and conceptualizes the intuition–rationality duality as a paradoxical tension. We draw on...

Mental model differences between external designers and their clients: The influence on project exploration, project exploitation and project performance

Tabeau, K.E. (author), Gemser, G. (author), Wijnberg, N. (author), Hultink, H.J. (author)

Prior research indicated that external designers are often hired by their clients to bring new knowledge into their organization. To assure that an external designer’s knowledge is implemented in the organization of the client, managing the relationship between the two is essential. Although it seems particularly important that the external...

Existing aeolian transport formulae tend to overestimate the sediment transport volumes in coastal environments. Supply limiting factors like moisture content, shell patches, sediment sorting, vegetation and morphological features are believed to explain these overestimations. These supply limitations act on a variety of spatio-temporal scales...
