Kuai, Y. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Intertidal flats are of great socio-economic and ecological importance in defending the coastal cities from flooding, providing resources for land reclamations and habits for wildlife. On the intertidal flats, milder profiles are usually featured with finer sediment. However, we find the opposite relationship between the alongshore variation in...journal article 2023

Hendrickx, G.G. (author), Kranenburg, W.M. (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author), Huismans, Y. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author)Estuaries are among the most densely populated and heavily utilised regions in the world, where crucial functions – e.g., freshwater availability and water safety – strongly relate to the natural dynamics of the system. When developing nature-based solutions to safeguard these essential functions, a thorough understanding of estuarine...journal article 2023

van Kouwen, Niels C. (author), Ton, A.M. (author), Vos, S.E. (author), Vijverberg, Thomas (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Many sand spits are morphodynamically complex landforms, that are either analysed with complex and expensive computational models or at a conceptual level. Therefore, most case studies on spits in different environments are descriptive. A novel method based on the use of polar coordinates was devised to quantitatively analyse spit...journal article 2023

Ton, A.M. (author), Vuik, V. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Low-energy, non-tidal lake beaches are known to be subject to longshore morphodynamics, but little is known about how they are driven by wind and wave-driven currents. Lake Markermeer is a shallow (∼4 m deep), wind-dominated lake, of approximately 700 km<sup>2</sup>. A gradient in wind-induced water level set-up at the leeward shore induces a...journal article 2023

Gawehn, M.A. (author), Almar, Rafael (author), Bergsma, Erwin W. J. (author), de Vries, S. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Optical satellite images of the nearshore water surface offer the possibility to invert water depths and thereby constitute the underlying bathymetry. Depth inversion techniques based on surface wave patterns can handle clear and turbid waters in a variety of global coastal environments. Common depth inversion algorithms require video from shore...journal article 2022

Vos, S.E. (author), Anders, Katharina (author), Kuschnerus, M. (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), Höfle, Bernhard (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), de Vries, S. (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

Zhan, Y.J. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Zhou, Yunxuan (author)Tidal flats play an important role in the geomorphological and biological dynamics of coasts. Research on the morphological evolution of tidal flats constitutes one of the key research issues pertaining to the sustainability of coastal ecosystems and related coastal defense issues. In this work, a novel indicator, the surface tidal trail (STT...journal article 2022

Schoutens, Ken (author), Stoorvogel, Marte (author), van den Berg, M. (author), van den Hoven, Kim (author), Bouma, Tjeerd J. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (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

Zhan, Y.J. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Zhou, Yunxuan (author)Research on the expansion pattern of pioneer vegetation in tidal flats is important, because this pattern affects the development of both topography and ecology. This study aimed to determine the monthly expansion patterns of seedlings and tussocks by using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS). Overall change process research and spatial analyses...journal article 2022

Kuai, Y. (author), Tao, Jianfeng (author), Zhou, Z. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Tidal flats play an important role in promoting coastal biodiversity, defense against flooding, land reclamation and recreation. Many coastal tidal flats, especially the tide-dominant ones, are muddy. However, the number of studies on the profile shape and surficial sediment distribution of muddy tidal flats is small compared to sandy beaches....journal article 2021

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

Gawehn, M.A. (author), de Vries, S. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Mapping coastal bathymetry from remote sensing becomes increasingly more attractive for the coastal community. It is facilitated by a rising availability of drone and satellite data, advances in data science, and an open-source mindset. Coastal bathymetry, but also wave directions, celerity and near-surface currents can simultaneously be derived...journal article 2021

de Vries, Mindert (author), van Koningsveld, M. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), de Vriend, H.J. (author)By definition, Building with Nature solutions utilise services provided by the natural system and/or provide new opportunities to that system. As a consequence, such solutions are sensitive to the status of, and interact with the surrounding system. A thorough understanding of the ambient natural system is therefore necessary to meet the...journal article 2021

(author)Sea-level rise (SLR) can amplify the episodic erosion from storms and drive chronic erosion on sandy shorelines, threatening many coastal communities. One of the major uncertainties in SLR projections is the potential rapid disintegration of large fractions of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS). Quantifying this uncertainty is essential to support...journal article 2020

(author), Tao, Jian feng (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Gong, Zheng (author)China's continuous and rapid economic growth has led to the reclamation of large sections of the intertidal mud coast in combination with port construction, such as that of the proposed Tongzhou Bay port on the Jiangsu coast. These reclamations threaten the local ecosystem services. An ecotope distribution map was created and a hydrodynamic...journal article 2020
