On the anatomy of nearshore sandbars: A systematic exposition of inter-annual sandbar dynamics

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...

Monitoring morphology of the sand engine leeside using Argus' cBathy

The Sand Engine is a mega-nourishment constructed in 2011 with the purpose of replenishing the surrounding southern Dutch coast by exploiting the strength of local alongshore currents for the next 20 years. Long term monitoring of the Sand Engine depends upon remote sensing coupled with in-situ measurements due to both its large spatial and...

Efficiënt berekenen van vertikale strukturen

Bij het oplossen van vragen over de morfodynamische processen die zich voor de kust afspelen, is inzicht in de dynamiek van vooroever en brandingsruggen onontbeerlijk. Een instrument dat hierbij aan bij kan dragen is het ARGUS videosysteem dat in het kader van het KUST*2000 onderzoekprogramma bij Bergen Egmond zal worden opgesteld. Een...
