de Wilde, Tim (author)A managed realignment is the landward relocation of a flood defence to re-establish tidal exchange on formerly reclaimed land. In a managed realignment, the newly formed intertidal area acts together with the realigned dike as a nature-based flood defence system. In this thesis, the focus is on the managed realignment of Perkpolder, a former...master thesis 2022

van Noppen, Thirza (author)Second-order Gaussian kernels have been utilized to develop three algorithms that could automatically extract ridge lines for hydrodynamic modelling. Isotropic second-order Gaussian kernels produce inaccurate lines at crossings and junctions. To avoid the malfunctioning of Second-order Gaussian kernels, one default and two alternative algorithms...master thesis 2022

Hooimeijer, F.L. (author), Bricker, J.D. (author), Ke, Q. (author), Bortolotti, A. (author), van der Heuvel, Jasper (author), Diaz, Andres (author)Mean sea level rise (SLR) could increase up to 2m by 2100, which would see damage caused by coastal flooding in Europe increase from €1.25bn per annum currently to €961bn in just over 80 years. Urban areas situated along the North Sea coastline are particularly vulnerable to extreme sea level rise (a combination of SLR, tide and storm surges)....journal article 2022

Yu, M. (author), Liu, X. (author), Wood, Paul (author), Wei, Li (author), Wang, Guoqing (author), Zhang, Jianyun (author), Li, Qiongfang (author)Due to an intensification of anthropogenic activities and climate change in recent decades, the hydrological connections and relationships between rivers and lakes have been significantly modified globally. Poyang Lake is one of the largest freshwater lakes globally and is one of the few that remain naturally connected to the Yangtze River....journal article 2022

Mol, Maaike (author)The need for accurate estimation of hydrodynamic and water quality model variables arises from the UNITED project, which aims to create high-resolutional forecasting systems for monitoring the cultivation of seaweed and flat oysters and operating of the Belgian pilot of UNITED in the coastal area of the North Sea. Accurate observations of...master thesis 2021

Schlumberger, Julius (author)Flooding has been a serious risk to the old-town of Venice, its residents and cultural heritage and continues to be a challenge in future. Despite this existence-defining condition, limited scientific knowledge on flood hazard and flood damage modelling of the old-town of Venice is available to support decisions to mitigate existing and future...master thesis 2021

Mullens, Ian (author)Recent studies have shown that flood risk contributes to a major part of the total risk caused by natural hazards in Western Europe. Especially in the United Kingdom, flood risk has been identified as a substantial threat, which is likely to continue to grow due to (coastal) urbanisation, sea level rise and climate change. A separate study has...master thesis 2021

Brussee, A.R. (author), Bricker, J.D. (author), De Bruijn, Karin M. (author), Verhoeven, Govert F. (author), Winsemius, H.C. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)Flood simulations are important for flood (fatality) risk assessment. This article provides insight into the sensitivity of flood fatality risks to the model resolution of flood simulations and to several uncertain parameters in the loss of life model used. A case study is conducted for river flooding in a polder in the Netherlands (the...journal article 2021

Meyer Ranneft, Marijn (author)Economic risk due to a potential flood event is determined by combining the estimated damages and the probability of failure for many scenarios. In recent research of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) it was stated that the sea level will rise more than expected due to climate change . This could influence the flood risk in...master thesis 2020

Westrik, Lucas (author)Over the recent years, flood risks and losses have been increasing for coastal cities due to climate change, subsidence, population and economic growth. Hong Kong and Macau are two cities located in the Pearl River Delta that experience a significant flood risk due to storm surges. The increased losses and risks has sparked interest around the...master thesis 2020

Chen, Chu (author)As Chinese economy booms during recent decades, river management attains more investment, and is required to develop more rapidly for flood defense as well as facilitating navigation, which brings a lot of changes and threat to most of aquatics, especially those endangered species. Yangtze finless porpoise is one of those...master thesis 2020

Brussee, Anneroos (author)The number of fatalities due to a potential flood event is traditionally determined utilizing 'mortality functions’. Data of recent large-scale flooding in the Netherlands are not available since the Netherlands was successful in flood prevention. Therefore, only data from the last coastal flood event in 1953 with 1795 direct fatalities are...master thesis 2020

Geraeds, Marlein (author)Phenomena like sea level rise, global warming and erosion together contribute to increasing flood risk in vulnerable coastal areas. As this flood risk increases, initiatives to mitigate the effects of climate change in the coastal zone are also increasingly sought. During recent years, the view that these measures should be circular has gained...master thesis 2020

Schiereck, Arianne (author)Estuaries support a unique hydrodynamic system due to the fresh water flowing into a salt water sea. This leads to stratification which can significantly alter internal tidal dynamics in the estuary. A model has been developed by Winant (2010) to describe the water motions of a two-layer system in tidal basin. The aim of this thesis is provide...bachelor thesis 2020

Storms, J.E.A. (author), Beylich, Achim A. (author), Hansen, Louise (author), Waldmann, Nicolas (author)This paper reconstructs the sedimentation volumes and patterns, suspended sediment yields, wind‐induced circulation patterns and sediment trapping efficiency of Lake Strynevatnet, western Norway as an integrated source to sink system. The lake became deglaciated ca 11 ky cal bp, with glacio‐isostatic uplift isolating the basin from the nearby...journal article 2020

Hassaballah, K.E.A. (author), Abbas Mohamedali, Y. (author), Omer, Amgad (author), Uhlenbrook, S. (author)Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of surface water in varied, remote and inaccessible isolated floodplain lakes is difficult. Seasonal inundation patterns of these isolated lakes can be misestimated in a hydrodynamic model due to the short time of connectivity. The seasonal and annual variability of the Dinder River flow has great...journal article 2020

van Rooijen, Erik (author), Mosselman, E. (author), Sloff, C.J. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J.
