Valencia, A.A. (author), Storms, J.E.A. (author), Walstra, D.J.R. (author), van der Vegt, Helena (author), Jagers, Hendrik R.A. (author)In natural deltaic settings, mixed hydrodynamic forcings and sediment properties are known to influence the preserved delta deposits. One process that has not received much attention yet is syn-sedimentary compaction of clastic sediment on millennial-scale delta evolution. To study how compaction interacts with delta morphodynamics and...journal article 2022

Performance evaluation of wave input reduction techniques for modeling inter-annual sandbar dynamicsde Queiroz, Bruna (author), Scheel, F. (author), Caires, Sofia (author), Walstra, D.J.R. (author), Olij, Derrick (author), Yoo, Jeseon (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), de Boer, W.P. (author)In process-based numerical models, reducing the amount of input parameters, known as input reduction (IR), is often required to reduce the computational effort of these models and to enable long-term, ensemble predictions. Currently, a comprehensive performance assessment of IR-methods is lacking, which hampers guidance on selecting suitable...journal article 2019

(author)In deltaic deposits, the largest volumes of sandy deposits occur at the delta top (as channel accretion, overbank deposits) and as distinct or amalgamated sandy mouth bars in the upper delta front. We use process-based models to study the sediment distribution in four evolving deltas, each with a different input sediment profile. We show how the...abstract 2018

(author), Sosa, J. (author), van Verseveld, WJ (author), Schellekens, J. (author), Sloff, C.J. (author)The West African coastal barrier is maintained by significant wave-driven longshore sand transport. This sand originates from rivers and large coastal sand deposits. Today, however, much of the fluvial sand is trapped behind river dams and/or interrupted at several locations by port jetties. As a result, the sandy coastal barrier is eroding...journal article 2018

(author)We model postseismic changes to the shoreline of West Aceh, Indonesia, a region largely affected by the December 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake and ensuing Indian Ocean tsunami, using a cross-shore morphodynamic model. Subsidence of 0.5–1.0 m and tsunami scouring during the 2004 event caused the complete destruction of the beach and the...journal article 2017

Walstra, D.J.R. (author), Ruessink, BG (author)Based on model hindcasts of the bar cycle at two locations along the Dutch coast, the dominant processes and mechanisms that govern the bar amplitude growth and decay during net inter-annual offshore migration, the occurrence of bar switches and the inter-site differences in the bar cycle return period (Tr) are identified. Bar growth and decay...conference paper 2017

(author)Geological models are generated by interpretation and interpolation of sparse data. To limit uncertainty, relevant analogues are used to extrapolate knowledge of previously studied, well understood systems. However, these analogues only provide a snapshot of deposition. During delta progradation, sediment will not only be deposited, but is also...abstract 2017

We show how the mechanism of sediment transport (the proportion of the sediment supply transported as bed load vs....journal article 2016

Walstra, D.J.R. (author)Nearshore sandbars have a lifetime of many years, during which they exhibit cyclic, offshore directed behaviour with strong alongshore coherence. A bar is generated near the shoreline and grows in height and width while migrating offshore, before finally decaying at the seaward limit of the surf zone. It may take 10 to 15 years for a bar to...doctoral thesis 2016

Walstra, D.J.R. (author), Wesselman, Daan (author), van der Deyl, Eveline (author), Ruessink, BG (author)Inter-annual bar dynamics may vary considerably across sites with very similar environmental settings. In particular, the variability of the bar cycle return period (Tr) may differ by a factor of 3 to 4. To date, data studies are only partially successful in explaining differences in Tr, establishing at best weak correlations to local...journal article 2016

(author)A hampering factor in the application of morphodynamic models is the potential excessive time needed to complete a simulation. One way to upscale a model run is the use of a morphological factor, or MORFAC. In this paper, we investigate the upper limit to the value of the MORFAC as a function of model geometry and timestep for a schematized case...conference paper 2014

Their behaviour is governed by the delicate balance of oceanic processes such as tides, waves and mean sea level (MSL), and fluvial/estuarine processes such as riverflow. All...poster 2014

(author)Understanding of the behaviour of coastline perturbations at soft-coastlines is essential for modelling coastal evolution at decadal time scales. Many coastline models do, for example, implicitly assume dominant diffusive behaviour of coastline features. The validity of this assumption is investigated for the Dutch coast on the basis of data on...conference paper 2013
