Pearson, M. (author), Casson, M. (author), Millar, I. (author), Charton, R.J.G. (author), Redfern, J. (author)Climate change directly impacts the source, mode and volume of sediment generation which can be observed in the rock record. To accurately model source to sink systems, in addition to hinterland geology, tectonics and transport distance, a thorough comprehension of the climate is essential. In this study we evaluate the role of climate on...journal article 2024

Wang, G. (author), Bar, Daniel (author), Schreier, S. (author)This study examines the potential of a new type of floating seawall, made up of retired large-scale oceangoing vessels, to be used in open water and exposed coastal areas. The main objectives of the research are to assess the effectiveness of the floating seawall concept, to determine the contribution of the gap resonance to wave attenuation,...journal article 2024

Possenti, Luca (author), de Nooijer, Lennart (author), de Jong, Christ (author), Lam, Frans Peter (author), Beelen, Simon (author), Bosschers, Johan (author), van Terwisga, T.J.C. (author), Stigter, Marinus (author), Reichart, Gert Jan (author)Since the industrial revolution the ocean has become noisier. The global increase in shipping is one of the main contributors to this. In some regions, shipping contributed to an increase in ambient noise of several decibels, especially at low frequencies (10 to 100 Hz). Such an increase can have a substantial negative impact on fish,...review 2024

Satymov, Rasul (author), Bogdanov, Dmitrii (author), Dadashi, Mojtaba (author), Lavidas, G. (author), Breyer, Christian (author)Climate change is driving the adoption of sustainable energy, with low-cost solar photovoltaics and wind power at the forefront. However, land-constrained regions and islands have a limited onshore renewable energy potential. Wave power may prove useful for such regions, supported by growing literature in the field. This study delves into...journal article 2024

Perry, Benjamin (author), Huisman, Bas (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author), Hesp, Patrick A. (author), Miot da Silva, Graziela (author)The bimodal wave climate of the semi-protected shallow Gulf St Vincent in South Australia has been analyzed through a forty-year (1980-2020) wave hindcast and an investigation into the climatic drivers of wave climate anomalies is presented. The sea and swell partitions of the wave climate were modelled independently as well as using an...journal article 2024

de Vree, A.M.W. (author)Maritime sectors have been notorious for their slow paced innovation efforts and although it is an efficient sector, it has big impact on the environment just because of the size of the industry (M. Rahim, et al. 2016). There is a lot of activity on the seas, changes in this sector could make a big difference when making our world become more...master thesis 2023

Kloppenburg, Noor (author)To limit global warming to 2 °C or below, the IPCC emphasizes the need for large-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR) alongside emissions reductions. There is a growing recognition of ocean-based CDR techniques and expanded research is needed. This thesis investigated the long-term (>100 years) carbon sequestration potential of enhancing the...master thesis 2023

van Stijn, Joep (author)The Ocean Cleanup faces a lot of different challenges during new deployments aimed to prevent riverine waste from entering the sea and harming surrounding ecosystems. These challenges are particularly evident when addressing entire river systems rather than individual rivers. An example of a currently challenging site The Ocean Cleanup faces in...master thesis 2023

Uncovering a Sonic Blue Ocean: Moving towards a more inclusive commercial background music ecosystemMathur, Tanai (author)Be it for providing a positive customer experience, a holistic brand identity, or a way to combat stress and exertion, background music has been used by businesses for profit since the invention of the phonograph. (Thompson, 1995) Modern technology enables this to happen fast, and tailors it to the needs of the business. Kollekt.fm is an...master thesis 2023

de Boer, Lotte (author)Icebergs drifting through the Southern Ocean release fresh water and nutrients. This has local impacts on surrounding ecosystems and sea ice formation. On a global scale, salinity patterns and ocean circulation are affected. In addition, <br/> tudying icebergs as a proxy for ice shelves in a warming climate can help predict future climate...master thesis 2023

(author)Renewable electricity generation will need to be rapidly scaled to address climate change and other environmental challenges. Doing so effectively will require an understanding of resource availability. We review estimates for renewable electricity of the global technical potential, defined as the amount of electricity that could be produced...review 2023

van Essen, S.M. (author), Seyffert, Harleigh C. (author)Green water and slamming wave impacts can lead to severe damage or operability issues for marine structures. It is therefore essential to consider their probability and loads in design. This is difficult, as impacts are both hydrodynamically complex and relatively rare. The complexity requires high-fidelity modeling (experiments or CFD),...journal article 2023

Naranjo, D. (author), Parisi, Laura (author), Jónsson, Sigurjón (author), Jousset, Philippe (author), Werthmüller, D. (author), Weemstra, C. (author)The timing of the recordings of ocean-bottom seismometers (OBSs) is critical for accurate earthquake location and Earth model studies. GNSS signals, however, cannot reach OBSs deployed at the ocean bottom. This prevents their clocks from being synchronized with a known reference time. To overcome this, we developed OCloC, a Python package that...abstract 2023

Theodosiou, A. (author), Kleinherenbrink, M. (author), Lopez Dekker, F.J. (author)Estimating sea surface height using cross-track interferometry (XTI) requires high sensitivity because the ocean surface signal is in the order of 10 cm. In addition, the interferometer requires a temporal delay of a few milliseconds to ensure the coherency of the moving ocean surface. We show that a squinted line of sight (LoS), in...journal article 2023
