Shakeel, A. (author), Rizwan, Komal (author), Farooq, U. (author), Iqbal, Shahid (author), Altaf, Ataf Ali (author)Rapid industrial development, vehicles, domestic activities and mishandling of garbage are the main sources of pollutants, which are destroying the atmosphere. There is a need to continuously monitor these pollutants for the safety of the environment and human beings. Conventional instruments for monitoring of toxic gases are expensive,...journal article 2022

(author)Sandy coasts form the interface between land and sea and their morphologies are highly dynamic. A combination of human and natural forcing results in morphologic changes affecting both nature values and coastal safety. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is a technique enabling near-continuous monitoring of the changing morphology of a sandy...journal article 2022

Kroon, J. (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), de Vries, S. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Sandy nourishments can provide additional sediment to the coastal system to maintain its recreational or safety function under rising sea levels. These nourishments can be implemented at sandy beach systems, but can also be used to reinforce gray coastal infrastructure (e.g., dams, dikes, seawalls). The Hondsbossche Dunes project is a combined...journal article 2022

(author)The amount of suspended fines in the southern North Sea strongly depends on their exchange with the sandy seabed. This exchange is governed by resuspension of fines during storms, followed by burial in the week thereafter. Despite its importance for fine sediment dynamics, the burial of fines into a sandy seabed is currently not well...journal article 2022

Buisman, M. (author), Martuganova, E.M. (author), Kiers, Tjeerd (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Kirichek, Alex (author)Purpose<br/><br/>Current surveying techniques used by port authorities to estimate the nautical depth are limited in depth resolution and temporal resolution. Because of this, certain heavily occupied quay walls cannot be optimised in terms of utilisation. Therefore, a permanent continuous measuring system with a higher depth resolution is...journal article 2022

(author), van Loon-Steensma, Jantsje M. (author), Meire, Patrick (author)Nature-based strategies, such as wave attenuation by tidal marshes, are increasingly proposed as a complement to mitigate the risks of failure of engineered flood defense structures such as levees. However, recent analysis of historic coastal storms revealed smaller dike breach dimensions if there were natural, high tidal marshes in front of...journal article 2022

Arosquipa Nina, Yvan (author), Shi, Rui (author), Wüthrich, D. (author), Chanson, Hubert (author)Self-aerated free-surface flow studies have a more recent history compared to classical fluid dynamics. Traditional velocimetry techniques are adversely affected by the presence of gas–liquid interfaces. In the present study, detailed air-water flow measurements were performed in a highly turbulent free-surface flow, and three velocimetry...journal article 2022

Delgado Elizundia, F. (author), Lavidas, G. (author), Blok, K. (author)Many questions remain regarding the exploitation of wave energy and its interaction with our energy systems. Particularly about their likely role in future multi-renewable power systems, given the resource’s abundance, predictability, and high energy density. The objective of this paper is to present the expansion of the renewable energy...conference paper 2022

Roest, Lambertus W.M. (author), de Vries, S. (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Recently, mega feeder nourishments have been proposed as a new strategy to nourish sediment-starving beaches. This strategy involves the placement of a large, concentrated sediment volume at a single location along the coast. Wind, waves and currents act as the natural agents to spread the sediment alongshore over the course of years to decades....journal article 2021

Conservation Implications of Sabellaria spinulosa Reef Patches in a Dynamic Sandy-Bottom Environmentvan der Reijden, Karin J. (author), Koop, L. (author), Mestdagh, S.M.F. (author), Snellen, M. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author), Olff, Han (author), Govers, Laura L. (author)Biogenic reefs form biodiversity hotspots and are key components of marine ecosystems, making them priority habitats for nature conservation. However, the conservation status of biogenic reefs generally depends on their size and stability. Dynamic, patchy reefs may therefore be excluded from protection. Here, we studied epibenthos and...journal article 2021
