Ferrari, M. (author)Along the majority of the worlds shoreline, tidal inlet systems represent a common morphological feature. Like in the Wadden Sea, which forms one of the major intertidal areas on the Earth, they are found along barrier islands coasts and they play a significant role in the sediment budget of the coastal zone. Tidal inlets are highly dynamic...master thesis 2002

Nieuwenhuis, O. (author)In the tidal inlets in the Dutch Wadden Sea, the most important sediment types are sand, silt and clay. A distinction between the sediment types is made, because clay particles have cohesive properties. Consequently, the clay particles do not behave as individual particles but tend to stick together. Floes are formed whose size and settling...master thesis 2001
