Lausman, R.F. (author)From the several existing empirical equations that describe the planform of a bay, the Parabolic Bay Shape Equation (PBSE) is the only one that explicitly assesses an equilibrium bay shape. Research has been performed on the uncertainties regarding the static equilibrium planform (SEP) plotted by this equation but results have been more of a...master thesis 2006

Van Geer, P.F.C. (author)The present study considers long-term morphologic development of the inlets forming the Western Dutch Wadden Sea. This concerns analysis of field measurements carried out since closure of the Zuider Sea (1932) as well as an assessment of possible imporvements of long-term morphological prodictions made for this area using ASMITA. From field...master thesis 2007

Van Baaren, P.F.J. (author)The dune erosion prediction method presently used in the safety assessment of the Dutch dune coast was developed for situations with wave periods up to 12 seconds. New insights predict that situations with wave periods larger than 12 seconds can be expected. Preliminary analyses of the potential influence of larger wave periods on dune erosion...master thesis 2007

Hoyng, C.W. (author)Project SANDS To advance the mobile bed scaling laws and to test new instruments, identical tests are carried out on different scale levels in three hydraulic facilities; Hannover GWK Flume, Barcelona Flume and Delft Scheldt Flume. Data obtained in Hannover and Barcelona are not yet available. Focus is on the Delft data; on beach profile...master thesis 2008

Molendijk, E. (author)This thesis concentrates on the autonomous behaviour of the breaker bars in front of the Holland coast in the period 1965-2006. The breaker bars in front of the Holland coast show a seaward movement, starting small at the waterline, growing during their seaward motion and dying out at deeper water. A typical profile in front of the Holland coast...master thesis 2008

Verduin, F. (author)The objective of this thesis is to improve the insight into the morphological processes in the outer delta of the Westerschelde estuary, especially those related to the sediment exchange between the delta and the estuary. The main residual sediment transport patterns in the delta have been found to look as follows. On a large scale there is a...master thesis 2009

Te Slaa, S. (author)The erosion problem in Hai Hau coastal district (Vietnam) is the subject of this thesis. The exact processes that drive this ongoing erosion however are not well defined yet, and therefore two main goals are defined. The first goal is to gain more insight into the processes that drive the ongoing erosion in Hai Hau. The second goal is to predict...master thesis 2009

Hillen, M.M. (author)A process-based numerical model was applied to investigate wave reworking in the deltaic environment. The two main objectives were (1) to develop this model and (2) consequently apply it to study the effects of wave reworking on the morphology and stratigraphy of a delta. A depth-average Delft3D model with two sediment fractions (fine silt and...master thesis 2009

Kooistra, J. (author)Connected to the Pacific Ocean by the Golden Gate channel, the San Francisco Bay accommodates a widely spread field of sandwaves that show large spatial variations which are not yet fully understood. Insight into the formation of sandwaves is necessary to understand and predict the processes that control sand transport and sedimentation patterns...master thesis 2009

Afanasyev, M. (author)A Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey was conducted in April of 2008, collecting 27 km of radar profiles in Sandflugtdalen, a permafrosted glacio-fluvial bedrock valley in West Greenland. Due to low electric permittivity of frozen soil, GPR has good depth penetration of permafrost, up to 80 m using low-frequency (50 MHz) antennae. Resolution...master thesis 2009

Pool, A.D. (author)After a storm surge in November 2007, older storm surge deposits were discovered in the eroded dunes near Heemskerk, the Netherlands. These deposits undulate in height with a maximum elevation of over 6 m above mean sea level. Luminescence dating suggests that the layers were deposited by either the 1775 or the 1776 storm surge. The aim of this...master thesis 2009

Possel, B.M.J. (author)The formation of the current Rhine-Meuse delta has mainly taken place during the Holocene (the last 12,000 years). This period is characterised by avulsions that lead to sudden shifts in the location of river channels. The channel deposits left behind by abandoned rivers are often distinct sandy layers in the shallow sub-surface, called buried...master thesis 2010

Monden, M. (author)Due to growing human activity in coastal zones, there is an increasing stress on salt marshes all over the world. These intertidal wetlands were often seen as coastal ‘wasteland’ and large areas were reclaimed for urban development and agriculture. In Puget Sound, a system of interconnected marine waterways and basins in the northwest of the...master thesis 2010

Moerman, E. (author)With the construction of a process-based long-term morphological model (Delft3D) for the Mouth of the Columbia River (MCR), a first approach is made in trying to simulating the long-term morphodynamics of the MCR. Focus is on simulating the observed morphological changes for the post-jetty period of 1926-1958. The model is supplied with a high...master thesis 2010

Bijl, E. (author)The erosion problem at the Senegambia area (The Gambia) is the subject of this thesis. The Senegambia area is the largest Tourism developed area which contributes significantly to the economy of The Gambia. In November 2003 Royal Haskoning has constructed a beach nourishment of 1,000,000 m3 as an erosion buffer with a lifetime of 10 to 15 years....master thesis 2011

Pruis, K.W. (author)The barrier islands in the Gulf of Mexico are regularly exposed to hurricanes, one of the main functions of the islands is to protect the mainland. Due to climate change the frequency and intensity of hurricanes is expected to change, which may affect the long term evolution of the islands. In this study these long term (decadal) morphological...master thesis 2011
