Eek, Majolie (author)This study is an analysis of sand mining in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) with the use of the optical satellite data set PlanetScope. This is done with a detection and classification model of sand mining vessels in the VMD. The classification model is based on machine-learning and it is trained with three classes: sand mining vessels, other...master thesis 2023

van Vliet, Lars (author)The impact of climate change, particularly the rise in sea levels, obstructs the effectiveness of existing coastal structures. Additionally, climate change can also have an amplifying effect on wind speeds (Takagi & Esteban, 2013). Without proper control, the accumulation of changing environmental boundary conditions could lead to disastrous...master thesis 2023

Forte, Edoardo (author), Lena, Francesca (author), Zamuner, Agatha (author)The Saigon River, coursing through Ho Chi Minh City, is a vital yet alarmingly polluted waterway. It ranks among the top 50 rivers globally contributing to plastic pollution. This study delves into the complex mechanisms governing the transport of floating plastic within a tidal system, such as the Saigon River.<br/>Our methodology adopts a...student report 2023

van Donselaar, Kevin (author)Large parts of the Netherlands lay below mean sea level. An extensive network of flood protection measures is in place to prevent flooding. Periodic safety assessment and reinforcement are required to guarantee a resilient system. Currently, in the Netherlands, an extensive sea dike reinforcement program is underway to meet the safety standards...master thesis 2023

Nieuwhuis, Thomas (author)When two storms quickly succeed one another, it can be called a twin storm. Storm conditions at the coast can lead to higher water levels and waves that can give rise to dune erosion. Therefore, after a storm the dunes are smaller than before the storm. Dune accretion is a much slower process than dune erosion; it can take weeks to months of...master thesis 2023

de Snoo, Ilian (author)The Wadden Sea serves multiple roles: it acts as a protective barrier against severe wave conditions, is a natural habitat for diverse flora and fauna and has recreational purposes. This research provides a comprehensive analysis of the intricate morphological dynamics of the Wadden Sea. By implementing various model schematizations, the study...master thesis 2023

de Bie, Rokus (author)For the past 2000 years river training works have been performed on the Dutch rivers. These training works have shaped the river system of today. Another result of the river training works, especially over the last two centuries, is a decrease in biodiversity. To protect the biodiversity some floodplains in the Netherlands have been classified...master thesis 2023

Broman, Casper (author)After overtopping, the most common failure mechanism in the world that leads to a dike breach is the instability of the inner slope. Two stability calculations are required for the semi-probabilistic assessment of inner slope stability. One calculation is without significant overtopping and the other calculation is with significant overtopping...master thesis 2023

Muishout, Chantal (author)Climate change imposes an increasingly big challenge worldwide regarding floods and droughts. The Netherlands is no exception to this, as it has been increasingly hit by these phenomena in recent years, especially in the south of the country. The July 2021 flood in the Geul catchment intensified discussions on climate resilience. It prompts...master thesis 2023

van Beek, Mats (author)In dredging and land reclamation, there are growing economic and environmental pressures to make beneficial use of fine-grained/cohesive soils. Due to these pressures, there is renewed interest in researching ways to optimise the beneficial use of fine-grained soils in dredging and reclamation.<br/>Stiff cohesive clayey soils soil break up into...master thesis 2023

Dédina, Daniel (author)Sea turtles, with six of the seven species listed as endangered by the IUCN, face significant threats. Their eggs exhibit sensitivity to fluctuations in temperature, salinity, and moisture during their 6-8-week incubation period. Inundation of these eggs can substantially decrease their viability and influence sex ratios. This thesis centers on...master thesis 2023

van Batenburg, Tobias (author)Groynes in the Lower Elbe estuary in Germany are subject to attack from overflowing long-period primary ship-induced waves. Damage can occur on the crest and lee side of the structure due to the high turbulent overflowing flow velocities. An actual design tool for groynes exposed to overflowing primary ship waves is not yet present. Therefore,...master thesis 2023

Burkhardt, Boris (author)In response to Amsterdam’s housing shortage, IJburg on the east side of Amsterdam, is being devel- oped. IJburg consists of six artificial islands in total on which about 20,000 homes for 50,000 residents are being built. Strandeiland (Beach island in English), located in the lake called IJmeer, is one of these artificial islands which is...master thesis 2023

Verhagen, Ties (author)In the field of offshore engineering, subsea rock installation has emerged as a pivotal technique. As offshore operations extend to greater water depths, the deployment of a versatile fallpipe has become a cornerstone for precise rock particle placement. A comprehensive determination of the overall rock material volume required for installation...master thesis 2023

Pouliasis, George (author)Wave overtopping of coastal structures is generally expressed in terms of average discharge and maximum overtopping volume. While substantial research can be found on the relationship of such variables with incident spectral characteristics and other geometrical dimensions, limited research has been done to identify the conditions for which...master thesis 2023

Zhou, Wenyu (author)This study evaluates the performance of the CMIP6 models in simulating monsoon rainfall and moisture tracking in the Yangtze River basin. The findings reveal varying degrees of accuracy across different regions of the basin during the monsoon period. Downstream and midstream regions demonstrate higher accuracy, whereas upstream areas exhibit...master thesis 2023

Tam, Zeta (author)Sand wave is one of the large-scale seabed morphological features with a typical wave height of metres and a wavelength of hundreds of metres. Its mobile nature causes a nuisance to offshore infrastructure and marine transport. Pre-sweeping is a construction procedure commonly involved in submarine utilities installation to dredge existing sand...master thesis 2023

Gielen, Christiaan (author)This thesis explores the potential of a fixed artificial bypass system for a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to coastal management in IJmuiden. The presence of the IJmuiden Port disrupts the natural processes, causing significant morphological changes to the coastal area. Current management practices require frequent dredging and...master thesis 2023
