van IJzendoorn, Christa (author), de Vries, S. (author), Hallin, E.C. (author), Hesp, Patrick A. (author)Sea level is rising due to climate change and is expected to influence the development and dynamics of coastal dunes. However, the anticipated changes to coastal dunes have not yet been demonstrated using field data. Here, we provide evidence of dune translation that is characterized by a linear increase of the dune toe elevation on the order...journal article 2021

Schepper, Rob (author), Almar, Rafael (author), Bergsma, Erwin (author), de Vries, S. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), Davidson, Mark (author), Splinter, Kristen (author)In this paper, a new approach to model wave‐driven, cross‐shore shoreline change incorporating multiple timescales is introduced. As a base, we use the equilibrium shoreline prediction model ShoreFor that accounts for a single timescale only. High‐resolution shoreline data collected at three distinctly different study sites is used to train...journal article 2021

Overeem, A. (author), de Vries, Hylke (author), Sakka, Hassan Al (author), Uijlenhoet, R. (author), Leijnse, Hidde (author)The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) operates two operational dual-polarization C-band weather radars providing 2D radar rainfall products. Attenuation can result in severe underestimation of rainfall amounts, particularly in convective situations that are known to have high impact on society. To improve the radar-based...journal article 2021

de Vries, R. (author), van Arnhem, N. (author), Sinnige, T. (author), Vos, Roelof (author), Veldhuis, L.L.M. (author)This article describes an experimental investigation of the aerodynamic interaction that occurs between distributed propellers in forward flight. To this end, three propellers were installed in close proximity in a wind tunnel, and the changes in their performance, flow-field characteristics, and noise production were quantified using...journal article 2021

van Zelst, V.T.M. (author), Dijkstra, Jasper T. (author), van Wesenbeeck, B (author), Eilander, Dirk (author), Morris, Edward P. (author), Winsemius, H.C. (author), Ward, Philip J. (author), de Vries, M.B. (author)Exposure to coastal flooding is increasing due to growing population and economic activity. These developments go hand-in-hand with a loss and deterioration of ecosystems. Ironically, these ecosystems can play a buffering role in reducing flood hazard. The ability of ecosystems to contribute to reducing coastal flooding has been emphasized in...journal article 2021

Wiegmann, Paul Moritz (author), Eggers, Felix (author), de Vries, H.J. (author), Blind, Knut (author)Standard-setting organizations (SSOs) establish goal-directed networks for innovators to jointly shape technology and markets through standards. The degree to which this can succeed depends to a large extent on network characteristics, which may differ substantially between SSOs. Many technological fields face intense competition between SSOs....journal article 2021

Gawehn, M.A. (author), de Vries, S. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Mapping coastal bathymetry from remote sensing becomes increasingly more attractive for the coastal community. It is facilitated by a rising availability of drone and satellite data, advances in data science, and an open-source mindset. Coastal bathymetry, but also wave directions, celerity and near-surface currents can simultaneously be derived...journal article 2021

Nuñez Velasco, J.P. (author), de Vries, Anouk (author), Farah, H. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Hagenzieker, Marjan (author)Most of cyclists’ fatalities originate from collisions with motorized vehicles. It is expected that automated vehicles (AV) will be safer than human-driven vehicles, but this depends on the nature of interactions between non-automated road users, among them cyclists. Little research on the interactions between cyclists and AVs exists. This...journal article 2021

de Vries, Mindert (author), van Koningsveld, M. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), de Vriend, H.J. (author)Hydraulic engineering infrastructure is supposed to keep functioning for many years and is likely to interfere with both the natural and the social environment at various scales. Due to its long life-cycle, hydraulic infrastructure is bound to face changing environmental conditions as well as changes in societal views on acceptable solutions....journal article 2021

de Vries, Mindert (author), van Koningsveld, M. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), de Vriend, H.J. (author)By definition, Building with Nature solutions utilise services provided by the natural system and/or provide new opportunities to that system. As a consequence, such solutions are sensitive to the status of, and interact with the surrounding system. A thorough understanding of the ambient natural system is therefore necessary to meet the...journal article 2021

Pols, C.F.J. (author), Dekkers, P.J.J.M. (author), de Vries, M.J. (author)This paper explores students’ ability to analyse and interpret empirical data as inadequate data analysis skills and understandings may contribute to the renowned disappointing outcomes of practical work in secondary school physics. Selected competences, derived from a collection of leading curricula, are explored through interviews and...journal article 2021

Janssens, M. (author), de Vries, I. E. (author), Hulshoff, S.J. (author)Temporary stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) using sulphate compounds could help to mitigate some of the adverse and irreversible impacts of global warming. Among the risks and uncertainties of SAI, the development of a delivery system presents an appreciable technical challenge. Early studies indicate that specialised aircraft appear the...journal article 2020

Roël-Looijenga, A. (author), Klapwijk, R.M. (author), de Vries, M.J. (author)During a Design and Technology class, engagement is both required to start creative hands-on work and a sign of pupil’s creative thinking. To find ways to achieve engagement, we can look to the Montessori tradition. Due to the fact that learning is regarded as feeding insight through experimenting, tasks have to offer pupils the opportunity to...journal article 2020

de Vries, M.J. (author)In this article, the morality in the “wickedness” of design problems as wicked problems is explored. I will use for that purpose the characteristics of wicked problems as identified by Horst Rittel and Melvin Webber. These characteristics suggest interdisciplinary thinking for solving such problems. An awareness of the wicked nature of design...journal article 2020

(author)Sea-level rise (SLR) can amplify the episodic erosion from storms and drive chronic erosion on sandy shorelines, threatening many coastal communities. One of the major uncertainties in SLR projections is the potential rapid disintegration of large fractions of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS). Quantifying this uncertainty is essential to support...journal article 2020

Present quantitative knowledge on intertidal bar behavior is limited, due to the scarcity of data resources and the limitations of traditional survey techniques. To investigate and quantify the cross-shore morphologic behavior of intertidal...journal article 2020

Turşucu, S. (author), Spandaw, J.G. (author), de Vries, M.J. (author)Mathematics is of major importance in science subjects. Unfortunately, students struggle with applying mathematics in science subjects, especially physics. In this qualitative study we demonstrate that transfer of algebraic skills from mathematics in physics class can be improved by using pre-knowledge effectively. We designed shift-problems...journal article 2020
