(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...abstract 2017

(author), Henrotte, J. (author), Smolders, T. (author), Dekker, F. (author), Godsey, E. (author)In order to conceive any realistic plan for post-Katrina island restoration, it is necessary to understand the physical processes that move sand along the littoral drift zone off the coast of Mississippi. This littoral zone influences the character of the Mississippi barrier islands as they exist in an ever changing cycle. To help in this...conference paper 2012

Hoonhout, B. (author), Thiel de Vries, J.S.M. (author)Physical model experiments are performed at Deltares to investigate the morphological response of barrier islands on extreme storm events. The experiments included dune erosion, overwash and inundation regimes. Extensive measurement techniques made detailed comparison with numerical models possible. This paper describes the comparison between...conference paper 2012
