Huisman, B.J.A. (author), Ruessink, B. G. (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), Luijendijk, Arjen (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)Large perturbations in the coastline, such as the 'Sand Motor' nourishment (∼21 million m<sup>3</sup>) at the Holland coast, can initiate considerable spatial and temporal changes in the median grain size (D<sub>50</sub>) of the sea bed on the lower shoreface. The relevance of hydrodynamic conditions for the development of the heterogeneity...journal article 2018

(author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)The Sand Engine is a 21.5 million m<sup>3</sup> experimental mega-nourishment project that was built in 2011 along the Dutch coast. This intervention created a discontinuity in the previous straight sandy coastline, altering the local hydrodynamics in a region that is influenced by the buoyant plume generated by the Rhine River.
