Nearshore waves and related wave overtopping in complex estuaries

This dissertation focuses on the Eems-Dollard estuary in the north of the Netherlands and contributes to the MVED (’Meerjarige Veldmetingen Eems-Dollard’) field measurement project in the area. The Eems-Dollard estuary is part of the Wadden Sea, a shallow shelf sea with barrier islands, deep tidal channels, shallow tidal flats and wetlands. The...

Modelling for analysis of refraction effects on overtopping in a complex estuary

Het diadrome visbestand in het Eems-Dollard estuarium in de periode 1999 tot 2001

In 1999 is een driejarige pilotstudie gestart naar het in ruimte en tijd seizoensafhankelijk voorkomen van diadrome vissoorten in het Eems-Dollard estuarium. In 1999 werd één visstation in het Groote Gat van de Dollard bemonsterd waarbij ook de invloed van het dag-nachtritme op de vangsten onderwerp van studie was. Voor inzicht in de ruimtelijke...

Alternative dumping sites in the Ems-Dollard estuary: Model study

Trendanalyse zwevend stof in Eems estuarium in relatie tot aanslibbing haven Delfzijl

Description of the turbulence measurements conducted in the tidal channel "Groote Gat" (Ems/Dollard) in 1995 and 1996

In 1993 an interdisciplinary research programme on the behaviour of mud in tidal waters was initiated by the Board of NWO-BOA. The programme aims at obtaining more detailed insight in the dominant processes that govern the transport behaviour of mud. These processes have strong time variability and therefore the general approach is to obtain...

Consolidation and strength evolution of Dollard mud: Measurement report on laboratory experiments

Many harbours in the world suffer from high siltation rates in their basins. To guarantee safe shipping, harbour authorities have to maintain the navigable depth by having dredged large amounts of mud. Some authorities relate the navigable depth to a depth at which the density is equal to a certain value, e.g. 1200 kg/m3. However, the shear...

The Ems/Dollard estuary: A physical system description

In 1993 an interdisciplinary research programme on the behaviour of mud in tidal waters was initiated by the The Board of NWO-BOA. The programme aims at obtaining more detailed insight in the dominant processes that govern the transport behaviour of mud. These processes have strong time variability and therefore the general approach is to obtain...
