Development of a non-equilibrium beach in a low-energy lake environment: Using the Noordstrand of the Marker Wadden as a case study

The Noordstrand of the Marker Wadden has been subject to much more erosion than expected. From our current understanding of this low-energy system we cannot explain what has been the cause of this. The goal of this thesis is to create a better understanding of the different processes responsible for the development of this non-equilibrium beach...

Quantifying complex relations between spit growth and its hydrodynamic drivers, in non-tidal, wind-dominated lake environments: Application to the Marker Wadden (Lake Markermeer, The Netherlands): Spit quantification at the Marker Wadden

Many sand spits are morphodynamically complex cases that are hard to quantify. Therefore, most case studies on sand spits in a specific type of environment, are descriptive or even non-existent. As is the case for spits in low-energy lake environments, like the two spits at the Marker Wadden islands. Because quantification is necessary for spits...
