Lagrangian sediment transport modelling as a tool for investigating coastal connectivity

Estuaries and coasts can be conceptualized as connected networks of water and sediment fluxes. These dynamic geomorphic systems are governed by waves, tides, wind, and river input, and evolve according to complex nonlinear transport processes. To predict their evolution, we need to better understand the pathways that sediment takes from source...

Morphodynamic development and sediment budget of the Dutch Wadden Sea over the last century

The availability of nearly 100 years of bathymetric measurements allows the analysis of the morphodynamic evolution of the Dutch Wadden Sea under rising sea level and increasing human constraint. The historically observed roll-over mechanisms of landward barrier and coastline retreat cannot be sustained naturally due to numerous erosion control...

The Egmond Model - Calibration, validation and evaluation of Delft3D-MOR with field measurements

Coastal management and engineering rely increasingly on predictions made by computational numerical models of hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes. However due to the lack of real data from coastal field measurements the models used, are rarely tested. With the COAST3D measuring campaign at a site near the town of Egmond a data set is...
