Seasonal variations of suspended sediment and diatoms in the Western Scheldt

This study focused on the possible relationship between seasonal variations of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) and diatom biomass. In order to determine whether a relationship exists, the effect of other parameters on these seasonal variations was also studied. This was accomplished to prevent the risk of finding a spurious relationship...

Sand-mud distribution in the Amelander inlet: Sand and mud transport computations in a tidal inlet

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...
