The grey – green spectrum: A review of coastal protection interventions

In the face of uncertainties around coastal management and climate change, coastal engineering interventions need to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Nature-based solutions and other non-traditional, integrated interventions are gaining traction. However, system-based views are not yet embedded into coastal management strategies....

A non-straightforward archipelago: speculative strategies for enriching the ecological and cultural landscapes of the Dutch Southwest Delta

A possible consequence of the contemporary re-evaluation of Dutch flood and water management strategies could be a return to more naturalistic estuarine conditions within the Southwest Delta. This has the potential to re-animate natural systems and habitats as well as bolster cultural connections to, and across, this landscape. <br/><br/>But how...

Ecological engineering solutions for the Day River

A bachelor thesis investigating ecological engineering solutions to solve water quantity and quality issues as well the issue of ecological degradation in the Day River Delta in Vietnam. This is done by a case study on the area around the Day Dam.

Benefits of ecological engineering practices

With the intention to further promote the field of ecological engineering and the solutions it provides, a workshop on “Benefits of Ecological Engineering Practices” was held 3 Dec 2009. It was conducted by the International Ecological Engineering Society in Paris at the conference “Ecological Engineering: from Concepts to Application” organized...

Ecological Engineering and Civil Engineering works

This thesis provides a survey of the research results of the relationship between on the one hand the construction, management and maintenance of civil engineering works, and on the other hand the environment, nature and landscape, with the main focus on motorways and coastal protection. The growing number and increase in size of civil...
