Assessment of Climate Change Impacts on the Dynamics of Sandy Nearshore Inlet Systems: A case study: Katama Bay, and Santa Lucia Estuary

Sandy barriers comprise 12% of coastlines around the world, and most of these barriers enclose tidal bays and lagoons. These systems accommodate human settlements vulnerable to climate change, which offer enough economic, social, and environmental utility to require further research on the impact of climate change and subsequent best management...

Development and Extension of An Aggregated Scale Model: Part 1 – Background to ASMITA

Whilst much attention has been given to models that describe wave, tide and sediment transport processes in sufficient detail to determine the local changes in bed level over a relatively detailed representation of the bathymetry, far less attention has been given to models that consider the problem at a much larger scale (e.g. that of...

Ontgrondingen bij door strekdammen gestabiliseerde tidal inlets

Het volbouwen van Nederland zorgt vandaag de dag voor een vergroting van de aandacht voor ondergronds bouwen. Een manier om ondergronds o.a. verkeers- en spoortunnels aan te leggen is door deze te boren. De overlast voor mensen, bebouwing en natuur wordt op deze manier tot een minimum beperkt. Een belangrijk aspect van tunnels is altijd de...

Hydro-morphogical study Douro Estuary

The Administracao dos Portos do Douro e Leixoes is confronted with the fact that future expansion of the port area of Leixoes is limited by the surrounding hills and urbanization. One of the alternatives for future expansion might be the creation of port facilities in the Douro estuary, where a relatively large, flat area is available. However,...

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...
