Project Ruta Nacional 90

The highway Ruta Nacional 90 (between Barranquilla and Santa Marta) is heavily endangered by progressive coastal erosion. Principally, this has a natural cause since the shifting mouth of the Magdalena River led to an insufficient supply of sediment. However, this threat has been foreseen for decades without it leading to adequate planning or...

Numerical Modelling of Coastal Erosion using MIKE21

The purpose of this research is to model coastal erosion at a site on the Ural coast of the Baydara Bay, Russia. The research carried out in this thesis, aims to create a model to represent the hydrodynamics and sediment transport patterns prevalent at the site, using MIKE21 developed by DHI. The model is calibrated using the available data. The...

An Analysis of the Physical Coastal System along East Coast Park, Singapore

East Coast Park is a 15 km long coastal park along the southeast coast of Singapore. It is built on entirely reclaimed land and comprises a sandy shoreline. The beaches along this shoreline are formed due to the implementation of anthropogenic structures all along this stretch of coast through so-called headland control. These structures were...

Evaluatie van SCOPE: Een gedragsmodel voor de kust

Kennis van het gedrag van de Nederlandse kust is noodzakelijk voor een verantwoord kustbeleid op de lange en korte termijn. Tot nu toe wordt er bij het beheer van de kust gebruik gemaakt van modellen die de afslag voorspellen als gevolg van extreme condities. Wat er met het kustgebied gebeurt als gevolg van de gemiddelde condities kan nog niet...
