Alday Gonzalez, M.F. (author), Lavidas, G. (author)In order to accelerate the transition from carbon fuels to renewable energy sources, it is essential to extend our knowledge of the resources’ availability to further improve or adjust the design of extraction devices. In the present paper, a first characterization of the tidal stream resource along the coast of The Netherlands is performed...journal article 2023

Schlembach, Florian (author), Ehlers, F. (author), Kleinherenbrink, M. (author), Passaro, Marcello (author), Dettmering, Denise (author), Seitz, Florian (author), Slobbe, D.C. (author)Estimating the three geophysical variables significant wave height (SWH), sea surface height, and wind speed from satellite altimetry continues to be challenging in the coastal zone because the received radar echoes exhibit significant interference from strongly reflective targets such as sandbanks, sheltered bays, ships etc. Fully focused...journal article 2023

Cheneka, B.R. (author), Watson, S.J. (author), Basu, S. (author)Only a few studies on the overall impact of climate change on offshore wind power production and wind power ramps in the North Sea region have been published. This study focuses on the characteristics of expected wind power production and wind power ramps in the future climate aided by the classification of circulations patterns using a self...journal article 2023

(author)The amount of suspended fines in the southern North Sea strongly depends on their exchange with the sandy seabed. This exchange is governed by resuspension of fines during storms, followed by burial in the week thereafter. Despite its importance for fine sediment dynamics, the burial of fines into a sandy seabed is currently not well...journal article 2022

Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), Naporowski, Remy (author), Tissier, M.F.S. (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), Akrish, G. (author), Rijnsdorp, D.P. (author)Coastal safety assessments with wave-resolving storm impact models require a proper offshore description for the incoming infragravity (IG) waves. This boundary condition is generally obtained by assuming a local equilibrium between the directionally-spread incident sea-swell wave forcing and the bound IG waves. The contribution of the free...journal article 2021

Haye Geukes, H. (author), Pesch, U. (author), Correljé, A. (author), Taebi, B. (author)The North Sea Consultation was set up to resolve conflicting claims for space in the North Sea. In 2020, this consultation process resulted in the North Sea Agreement, which was supported by the Dutch Parliament and cabinet as a long-term policy; however, the fishing sector felt excluded, left the consultation process, and does not support the...journal article 2021

Lavidas, G. (author), Blok, K. (author)Wave energy can provide significant benefits as renewables acquire more share in electricity production. So far, focus for the development of wave energy is given to areas with resources ≥ 25 kW/m, with moderate resources often not considered. Furthermore, waves have larger uncertainties associated with diverse portfolio of converters leading...journal article 2021

van Mil, Yvonne (author), Rutte, R.J. (author)Around the North Sea, how have port cities and cities in the hinterlands of port cities influenced one another in the past? What possible links are there between population trends in various urban areas and time periods? Is it possible to identify the origin of the urbanization patterns around the North Sea? To understand the current era of...journal article 2021

Conservation Implications of Sabellaria spinulosa Reef Patches in a Dynamic Sandy-Bottom Environmentvan der Reijden, Karin J. (author), Koop, L. (author), Mestdagh, S.M.F. (author), Snellen, M. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author), Olff, Han (author), Govers, Laura L. (author)Biogenic reefs form biodiversity hotspots and are key components of marine ecosystems, making them priority habitats for nature conservation. However, the conservation status of biogenic reefs generally depends on their size and stability. Dynamic, patchy reefs may therefore be excluded from protection. Here, we studied epibenthos and...journal article 2021

Li, B. (author), Basu, S. (author), Watson, S.J. (author), Russchenberg, H.W.J. (author)In the near future, wind and solar generation are projected to play an increasingly important role in Europe's energy sector. With such fast-growing renewable energy development, the presence of simultaneous calm wind and overcast conditions could cause significant shortfalls in production with potentially serious consequences for system...journal article 2021

Koop, L. (author), van der Reijden, Karin J. (author), Mestdagh, S.M.F. (author), Ysebaert, Tom (author), Govers, Laura L. (author), Olff, Han (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author), Snellen, M. (author), Simons, D.G. (author)Backscatter data from multibeam echosounders are commonly used to classify seafloor sediment composition. Previously, it was found that the survey azimuth affects backscatter when small organized seafloor structures, such as sand ripples, are present. These sand ripples are too small to be detected in the multibeam bathymetry. Here, we show that...journal article 2020

Schneider, Lisa K. (author), Flynn, Kevin J. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author), Troost, Tineke A. (author), Stolte, Willem (author)While traditional microplankton community assessments focus primarily on phytoplankton and protozooplankton, the last decade has witnessed a growing recognition of photo-phago mixotrophy (performed by mixoplankton) as an important nutritional route among plankton. However, the trophic classification of plankton and subsequent analysis of the...journal article 2020

Lavidas, G. (author)This study introduces a novel index that accounts for the interactions of wave climate and wave energy converters, offering an unbiased approach that considers climate variability, survivability and energy production. Application of the index is done with use of a longterm wave hindcast validated database for the North Sea. A detailed overall...journal article 2020

(author)The composition of benthic species communities in the nearshore zone is closely related to the hydrodynamic and morphodynamic conditions. Sustainable management of the coastal ecosystem requires knowledge about the natural dynamics as well as human-induced changes on the ecosystem. To improve our knowledge of the benthic species distribution...journal article 2020

(author)In the past 10 years the mature hydrocarbon province the West Netherlands Basin has hosted rapidly expanding geothermal development. Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous strata from which gas and oil had been produced since the 1950s became targets for geothermal exploitation. The extensive publicly available subsurface data including seismic...journal article 2020

Lavidas, G. (author), Polinder, H. (author)The study presents a newly generated hindcast database of metocean conditions for the region of the North Sea by parametrising the newly introduced ST6 physics in a nearshore wave model. Exploring and assessing the intricacies in wave generation are vital to produce a reliable hindcast. The new parametrisations perform better, though they have a...journal article 2019

Tene, M. (author), Stuparu, Dana E. (author), Kurowicka, D. (author), El Serafy, G.Y.H. (author)This paper describes a novel sensitivity analysis method, able to handle dependency relationships between model parameters. The starting point is the popular Morris (1991) algorithm, which was initially devised under the assumption of parameter independence. This important limitation is tackled by allowing the user to incorporate dependency...journal article 2018

Jaeger, W.S. (author), Christie, E. K. (author), Hanea, A.M. (author), den Heijer, C. (author), Spencer, T. (author)Emergency management and long-term planning in coastal areas depend on detailed assessments (meter scale) of flood and erosion risks. Typically, models of the risk chain are fragmented into smaller parts, because the physical processes involved are very complex and consequences can be diverse. We developed a Bayesian network (BN) approach to...journal article 2018

Gorenstein Dedecca, J. (author), Lumbreras, Sara (author), Ramos, Andrés (author), Hakvoort, R.A. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)The development of offshore transmission and wind power generation in the North Sea of Europe is advancing fast, but there are significant barriers to an integrated offshore grid in the region. This offshore grid is a multi-level, multi-actor system requiring a governance decision-making approach, but there is currently no proven governance...journal article 2018
