Meijer, Theo (author)The dunes along the Dutch coast serve as a critical component of flood defense. Storms and a shortage of sediment supply offshore lead to dune and shoreline erosion, posing a hazard to flood safety. To combat coastal erosion, the Dutch government decided in 1990 to proactively nourish the coast. It is expected that as an indirect effect of the...master thesis 2023

Francken, Felix (author)In 1990 the Dutch government passed legislation that dictates the South West Texel coast must be maintained with regard to the 1990 coastline. The coast is currently maintained by applying shoreface and beach nourishments with an interval of approximately 3 years, because it experiences erosion. The problems with this approach are that the...master thesis 2023

van Kessel, Bart (author)Dunes are the primary sea defence along the Dutch coast. This research investigated the development between 1965 and 2021 of the beaches and dunes of the Hoogheemraadschap Hollands Noorderkwartier (HHNK) area which stretches from IJmuiden to northern Texel. This research used an advanced data analysis on the annual coastal elevation data. The...master thesis 2022

van Maanen, Gerard (author)The coastline near Domburg, in the southwest delta of the Netherlands, has been preserved with sand for three decades. Maintenance was conducted on the beach between the low water line and the dune foot every 4 years. To extent this interval, a shoreface nourishment was implemented in 2017 and was supplemented with a beach nourishment in 2019....master thesis 2021

Shek, Ka-Way (author)In the past decades, beach nourishments have been widely applied along the coast of the Netherlands. Different studies on beach nourishment have been conducted over the years. Most of these studies regard the design, execution method, morpho- and hydrodynamic behaviour, and ecological impact. However, the relationship between the design aspects...master thesis 2021

Zwarenstein Tutunji, Nicha (author)This thesis describes the development and the characteristics of the coastline along the Dutch coastal zone, managed by Hoogheemraadschap Hollands Noorderkwartier. The coastal zone is a rich environment with multiple stakeholders. These stakeholders use the coastal zone for a range of functions such as safety, nature, business, and recreation....master thesis 2021

Giardino, Alessio (author), Diamantidou, Eleni (author), Pearson, S.G. (author), Santinelli, Giorgio (author), den Heijer, C. (author)This paper presents an application of the Bayesian belief network for coastal erosion management at the regional scale. A "Bayesian erosion management network" (BERM-N) is developed and trained based on yearly cross-shore profile data available along the Holland coast. Profiles collected for over 50 years and at 604 locations were combined...journal article 2019

Bruins, R.J. (author)To counteract relative sea level rise, Rijkswaterstaat nourishes the Dutch coast with sand. This sand spreads out over the shoreface zone, beach and dunes. One of the nourishment types is the shoreface nourishment. In this thesis, data of historical shoreface nourishments along the Dutch coast is analysed to find the factors that influence this...master thesis 2016

Walstra, D.J.R. (author)Nearshore sandbars have a lifetime of many years, during which they exhibit cyclic, offshore directed behaviour with strong alongshore coherence. A bar is generated near the shoreline and grows in height and width while migrating offshore, before finally decaying at the seaward limit of the surf zone. It may take 10 to 15 years for a bar to...doctoral thesis 2016

Walstra, D.J.R. (author), Wesselman, Daan (author), van der Deyl, Eveline (author), Ruessink, BG (author)Inter-annual bar dynamics may vary considerably across sites with very similar environmental settings. In particular, the variability of the bar cycle return period (Tr) may differ by a factor of 3 to 4. To date, data studies are only partially successful in explaining differences in Tr, establishing at best weak correlations to local...journal article 2016

Vermaas, T. (author)In Nederland ligt ongeveer 27% van het landoppervlak onder zeeniveau. Ons economische hart - (het westen van) de randstad - is erg kwetsbaar voor overstromingen vanuit zee. Sinds 1990 wordt de kust beschermt door zandsuppleties, ook wel ‘zachte bescherming’ genoemd. In 2001 is besloten om het totale zandvolume van het actieve kustsysteem - het...report 2012

Pot, R. (author)The safety of a large part of the Netherlands is dependent on the safety level of our flood protections. The height and volume of the dunes and the near shore zone influence this safety level. Robust dunes have provided natural safety against the sea for centuries. In the last centuries, structural erosion of the coastline and the increase of...master thesis 2011

Damsma, T. (author)Dune evolution on natural and nourished beaches on an engineering timescale is not well understood. Using a study of both literature, and data which has been gathered of the Dutch coast, a new hypothesis regarding the causes of variability in dune evolution is proposed. Following this hypothesis assumptions are made on the basis of which a...master thesis 2009

Molendijk, E. (author)This thesis concentrates on the autonomous behaviour of the breaker bars in front of the Holland coast in the period 1965-2006. The breaker bars in front of the Holland coast show a seaward movement, starting small at the waterline, growing during their seaward motion and dying out at deeper water. A typical profile in front of the Holland coast...master thesis 2008

Anonymous, A. (author)The Netherlands lies on the northern coast of Europe and is situated between Belgium in the southwest and Germany in the northeast. The Netherlands boarders the North Sea which stretches from Cap Blanc Nez (France) to the north part of Jutland (Denmark) and is subdivided in three sections: the Delta coast, the Holland coast and the Wadden coast....report 2005

Kops, A.J.G. (author)In deze studie is geprobeerd om een verklaring te vinden voor een opvallend erosiesedimentatie- patroon rond Egmond aan Zee, in het kustvak tussen raai 30.25 en raai 46.00. Wanneer de mate van kustvooruitgang en kustachteruitgang langs de kust wordt uitgezet blijkt een golfachtig patroon op te treden met een kenmerkende golflengte van ongeveer 2...master thesis 1993

Boschloo, E.R. (author)Van de raaien 30.25 tlm 46.00 van de Noordhollandse kust zijn de totaalkuberingen berekend. De tijdreeksen van deze kuberingen geven over het algemeen een fluctuerend beeld te zien, als gevolg van de afwisselend jaarlijkse aanzanding en erosie. Om een netto gedrag vast te stellen kan gebruik worden gemaakt van een linearisering, waaruit de ...master thesis 1990

Knoester, D. (author)De nota behandelt de analyse die is uitgevoerd op het JARKUS-bestand en richt zich op de situatie van de Hollandse kust in de periode 1964 tot en met 1986. De nadruk in dit onderzoek ligt op de ontwikkeling in de tijd van lijnen van gelijke hoogte of diepte (isolijnen genoemd). Tevens is het gedrag van brandingsruggen onderzocht. In de eerste...report 1990

De Vroeg, J.H. (author)Getracht zal worden om met behulp van een eenvoudig hanteerbare uitdrukking het grootschalig gedrag van brandingsruggen langs de Hollandse kust te beschrijven. Met dit model wordt de hoeveelheid zand bepaald die gepaard gaat met een eventuele beweging van deze ruggen, waarbij het effekt op gemeten lijnwaarden centraal staat. Beschouwd zal worden...master thesis 1987
