Beselly, S.M. (author), van der Wegen, Mick (author), Grueters, Uwe (author), Reyns, J.A.H. (author), Dijkstra, Jasper (author), Roelvink, D. (author)This article presents a novel approach to explore mangrove dynamics on a prograding delta by integrating unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and satellite imagery. The Porong Delta in Indonesia has a unique geographical setting with rapid delta development and expansion of the mangrove belt. This is due to an unprecedented mud load from the LUSI...journal article 2021

(author), Dijkstra, Jouke (author), Van Roon-Mom, Willeke (author), Höllt, T. (author), van der Weerd, Louise (author)Brain iron accumulation has been found to accelerate disease progression in amyloid-β(Aβ) positive Alzheimer patients, though the mechanism is still unknown. Microglia have been identified as key players in the disease pathogenesis, and are highly reactive cells responding to aberrations such as increased iron levels. Therefore, using...journal article 2021

Wang, Jinyang (author), de Swart, Huib E. (author), Dijkstra, Y.M. (author)Estuaries are often characterised by a complex network of branching channels, in which the water motion is primarily driven by tides and fresh water discharge. For both scientific reasons and management purposes, it is important to gain more fundamental knowledge about the hydrodynamics in such networks, as well as their implications for...journal article 2021

Horemans, Dante M.L. (author), Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author), Sabbe, Koen (author), Vyverman, Wim (author), Meire, Patrick (author), Cox, Tom J.S. (author)Many estuaries exhibit seasonality in the estuary-scale distribution of suspended particulate matter (SPM). This SPM distribution depends on various factors, including freshwater discharge, salinity intrusion, erodibility, and the ability of cohesive SPM to flocculate into larger aggregates. Various authors indicate that biotic factors, such...journal article 2021

(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

(author)Shallow tropical bays in the Caribbean, like Orient Bay and Galion Bay in Saint Martin, are often sheltered by coral reefs. In the relatively calm environment behind the reefs, seagrass meadows grow. Together, these ecosystems provide valuable ecosystem services like coastal protection, biodiversity hotspots, nursery grounds for animals and...journal article 2020

(author)Removal of organic and inorganic sulfur compounds from sour gases is required because of their toxicity and atmospheric pollution. The most common are hydrogen sulfide (H<sub>2</sub>S) and methanethiol (MT). Under oxygen-limiting conditions about 92 mol% of sulfide is oxidized to sulfur by haloalkaliphilic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB),...journal article 2020

Fiorucci, Giulia (author), Coli, Gabriele M. (author), Padding, J.T. (author), Dijkstra, Marjolein (author)We investigate the effect of hydrodynamic interactions (HIs) on the crystal nucleation of hard-sphere colloids for varying supersaturations. We use molecular dynamics and stochastic rotation dynamics techniques to account for the HIs. For high supersaturation values, we perform brute force simulations and compute the nucleation rate,...journal article 2020

Dijkstra, Y.M. (author)Within estuaries one can often observe areas where the concentration of fine suspended sediments is higher than in the surrounding waters, called estuarine turbidity maxima (ETM). ETM play an important role in the natural and socio-economic value of estuaries. The suspended sediments can for example greatly diminish the value of the estuarine...doctoral thesis 2019

Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author), Schramkowski, G.P. (author), Brouwer, R.L. (author)Many estuaries are strongly modified by human interventions, including substantive channel deepening. In the Ems River Estuary (Germany and Netherlands), channel deepening between the 1960s and early 2000s coincided with an increase in the maximum near-bed suspended sediment concentration from moderate (∼1 kg/m <sup>3</sup> ) to high (>10...journal article 2019

Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author), Schramkowski, G.P. (author)Many estuaries are strongly deepened to improve navigation, with sometimes large and poorly understood consequences to suspended sediment dynamics. To improve understanding of such large changes, we study the Ems River Estuary, where a regime shift from low to high sediment concentrations was observed after deepening. The aim of this study is...journal article 2019
