Frantzen, Paco (author)Global climate change affects mountain regions such as the European Alps. Consequently, glacier extents decrease, and proglacial areas, the areas that recently lost their ice cover, increase in size. These proglacial areas are subject to a high frequency and magnitude of geomorphological activity and act as a sediment source for downstream...master thesis 2022

Attema, Y.H. (author)The interaction between vegetation and the morphodynamics is considered to be an important process in salt marsh formation and succession. Therefore, the contribution of vegetation modelling on the long-term morphological development of salt marshes is assessed by implementing a vegetation growth model in the morphodynamic modelling software...master thesis 2014

Ten Brink, T. (author)How to, a landscape architect, design with coastal natural processes? Coastal areas have stronger and more fluctuating natural variables than many sites in more sheltered areas. Understanding the past, present, and future form of these processes will allow the designer to shape a form and program that works with the site-specific...master thesis 2014

Boeser, D.M. (author)Clean drinking water is essential for life. In Bangladesh and the northern part of India however, around the 30 and 40 million people are estimated to be exposed to Arsenic in drinking water at concentrations above the 0.05 mg/L. Studies show that the aquifers of Holocene age near the Ganga River are polluted. These aquifers are between the 10...bachelor thesis 2011

Rutten, G.L. (author)Beachrocks are lithified coastal sedimentary formations which form inside the beach body on short time scales, possibly within a year. Beachrocks can play an important role in the evolution of a shoreline as they fix the normally loose sediments. On the other hand, the evolution of a shoreline could play an important role in the genesis of...master thesis 2011
