Kroon, M.E.N. (author), Rutten, M.M. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Wunna, S. (author)Coastal squeeze is the reduction in the space of coastal habitats to operate (Phan et al, 2014) and an important cause for coastline retreat, increase in flood risk, salinity intrusion etc. Land use changes, such as deforestation and urbanization, reduce the space of natural habitats, such as mangrove forests, and cause deterioration of these...conference paper 2015

(author)Over the past decades the effect of vegetation (e.g. kelp, mangroves, sea grass) on nearshore coastal processes has received more and more attention. In recent years several numerical wave models have been extended to include this effect. In the current study, the numerical storm impact model XBeach was extended with formulations found in...conference paper 2015

(author)Measurements of nearshore currents can be performed using a range of existing measurement techniques. Although every technique has its specific benefits, capturing strong spatial gradients in a flow field with sufficiently high spatial resolution often proves to be difficult due to high costs or practical difficulties associated with these...conference paper 2015

Timmermans, J.S. (author), Haasnoot, M. (author), Hermans, L.M. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Rutten, M.M. (author), Thissen, W.A.H. (author)Deltas are generally recognized as vulnerable to climate change and therefore a salient topic in adaptation science. Deltas are also highly dynamic systems viewed from physical (erosion, sedimentation, subsidence), social (demographic), economic (trade), infrastructures (transport, energy, metropolization) and cultural (multiethnic) perspectives...conference paper 2015

Do, T.K.A. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Brouwer, R.L. (author), De Vries, S. (author)This study presents an analysis of the planform stability of the complex embayed beach system of Da Nang Bay, central Vietnam. As a result of the intensification of extreme weather conditions and human activities in this area (e.g. land reclamation, river damming, and coastal structures), coastal safety as well as economic and ecological values...conference paper 2015

Van Steeg, P. (author), Labruijere, A. (author), Mom, R. (author)The stability of grass covered slopes on primary flood defences under wave attack is an important aspect with respect to the strength of the entire dike. In a grass slope many transitions to objects (poles, stairs, fences, buildings et cetera) or other revetments (concrete, asphalt, placed block revetment) can be present. This can potentially...report 2015

Orru, C. (author), Chavarrias Borras, V. (author), Ferrara, V. (author), Stecca, G. (author), Blom, A. (author)A flume experiment was conducted to examine the evolution of a sand-gravel reach under a lack of sediment supply. A bed composed of a bimodal sediment mixture was installed with a uniform slope and an gradual fining pattern. At the upstream end of the flume the initial bed consisted of 100% gravel, which decreased stepwise (10% steps) in...conference paper 2015

De Vries, S. (author), Radermacher, M. (author), De Schipper, M.A. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)The Sand Motor is a mega-nourishment characterized by a very large sand volume of around 20 million m3 placed along the Dutch coast. The Sand Motor is a pilot project to evaluate the performance of an alternative nourishment strategy with respect to different functions of the coastal system. Within the scope of the coastal functions, the hook...conference paper 2015

Alvarez Mieles, M.G. (author), Corzo, G. (author), Irvine, K. (author), Mynett, A.E. (author)A central component of predictive ecology in wetlands is the analysis of species distribution as a function of their biotic and abiotic environment. This analysis is normally used by decision-makers in biodiversity conservation, species monitoring and environmental planning, among others. Habitat suitability modelling is a major component of the...conference paper 2015

van Damme, M. (author), Visser, P.J. (author)Deriving the bed shear stresses from hydrodynamic models in breach models is challenging due to the continuous changing hydraulic head over the breach in combination with horizontal and vertical flow contractions, and the continuous rapidly changing breach geometry. Three stages can be distinguished in breach flows. Stage 1 initiates when the...conference paper 2015

(author)The Netherlands’ strategy to combat coastal erosion since 1990 has been through nourishment, initially as beach nourishments but more and more as shoreface nourishments. In the light of sea level rise projections the yearly nourishment magnitudes continue to increase. In view of this an innovative soft engineering intervention, comprising an...conference paper 2013

Yan, H. (author), Van Prooijen, B.C. (author)The Yangtze River is one of the largest rivers in the world and the longest one in Asia. Its estuary forms an important entrance for shipping, but is also a key ecological system. Especially the inter-tidal flats are valuable habitats. The health and integrity of the estuarine tidal flat are however under pressure due to anthropogenic influences...conference paper 2013

Verbruggen, W. (author), Mosselman, E. (author), Zolezzi, G. (author), Sloff, C.J. (author)Local geometrical perturbations in alluvial channels can generate a pattern of alternate bars called ‘overdeepening’. Previous linear analyses and laboratory experiments showed that these bars arise downstream of perturbations in the relatively narrow and deep channels corresponding to subresonant conditions, but both upstream and downstream of...conference paper 2013

Maan, D.C. (author), Van Prooijen, B.C. (author)The Yangtze river (China) is one of the biggest rivers in the world in terms of length, area, discharge and sediment load. The large sediment supply by the Yangtze river resulted in the development of large coastal wetlands in its estuary, which form rich and important ecosystems. Human activities are increasingly influencing the Yangtze estuary...conference paper 2013
