Nearshore sediment movement - Central California coast

An 80- mile reach of the central California coast, extending from the mouth of the Russian River in the north to Half Moon Bay in the south, was studied for the characteristics of sediment movement in the nearshore zone. From the results of a large number of beach and offshore sediment samples and other information, several techniques were...

Onderzoek korrelgrootte-variaties voor de kust van Katwijk 1962

In augustus en september 1962 zijn voor de kust van Katwijk op uitgebreide schaal metingen verricht naar golven, stromen, sedimentbeweging, bodemprofielen en korrelgrootte-samenstelling van het bodemmateriaal. Het doel van deze metingen was om een nader inzicht te krijgen in de processen die de profiel opbouw en de sedimentbeweging nabij de kust...

Coastal Engineering (Proceedings of the 1st ICCE, International Conference on Coastal Engineering)

The Conference on Coastal Engineering at Long Beach was conceived originally as a local meeting of engineers and scientists interested in shoreline problems and was sponsored by the University of California. It early became evident that there was widespread interest in the subject and that the program should be planned on a more ambitious scale....

Eb- en Vloedschaar Systemen in de Nederlandse Getijwateren - Ebb and Flood Channel Systems in the Netherlands Tidal Waters

The present paper, “Eb- en vloedschaarsystemen in de Nederlandse getijwateren” (Ebb- and floodchannel systems in the Dutch tidal waters), which was published in 1950, should be considered as Van Veen’s most important publication since his thesis. It summarizes the results of 20 years of intensive study of estuarine and tidal-basin morphodynamics...

Research of tidal rivers in the Netherlands

Article (written in 1940, but due to the war published in 1946) on tidal measurements, bed forms and sediment transport in tidal rivers, estuaries and coastal seas.

Measurements in the Straits of Dover, and their relation to the Netherlands coasts

The Straits ofDover are in certain ways to be considered as the root ofthe Flemish-Dutch coast as far as Texel and as the place where the most influential part of the tidal phenomena along this coast originates. Some uncertainty existed about the influence of a supposed enlargement of these Straits which was expressed in the following two...
