An experimental study on the drag and inertia forces due to mussel growth on vertical poles exposed to waves

Mangroves trap sediment and are the first coastal defence line for many coastal areas. Unfortunately, mangrove coasts worldwide are eroding due to deforestation, exposing local communities to flood hazards. In Demak, Indonesia, a Building with Nature approach was chosen to counteract erosion. Permeable dams were built on the foreshore to...

Modelling of hydrodynamic and erosion processes at vegetated lake shores: Development of a process-based tool for the design of the protection of a lake shore with reed-like vegetation

In recent years, the interest in integrating shore protection with the local ecosystems has increased. In comparison with the traditional reinforced embankments, integrated shores form a gradual transition from land to water where shore vegetation can establish itself. These nature-friendly shores have a positive impact upon the water quality,...
