Blok, Jochem (author)The onset of global warming has resulted in significant and potentially irreversible climate changes, exposing coast areas to substantial risks of morphodynamic transformations. Sea level rise (SLR), a consequence of climate change, is inevitable without significant changes tohuman activities. Understanding the impacts of SLR on coastlines and...master thesis 2023

(author), Savva, Christos (author), Wang, Dandan (author), Bove, Gerald (author), Paprotny, D. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author)This contribution presents an assessment at a regional (island) scale of the beach erosion due to storm events under Climate Change. The approach adopted to assess beach erosion at the island scale consisted of three modules. First, the location, dimensions and other attributes of the Cypriot beaches were recorded on the basis of widely...journal article 2023

van der Heijden, Dante (author)Since early history, humans have been attracted to coastal areas. This can be related to the economic benefits of these areas due to access of ocean navigation, coastal fisheries, tourism and recreation (Seas and Plans, 2011). Around 40% of the world’s population lives within 100 km of the coast (Seas and Plans, 2011). People are drawn to sandy...master thesis 2022

Luijendijk, A.P. (author), Kras, Etiënne (author), Dagalaki, Vasiliki (author), Morelissen, Robin (author), Hoteit, Ibrahim (author), Ranasinghe, Roshanka (author)The Saudi Arabian tourism sector is growing, and its economy has flourished over the last decades. This has resulted in numerous coastal developments close to large economic centers, while many more are proposed or planned. The coastal developments have influenced the behavior of the shoreline in the past. Here we undertake a national...journal article 2022

Holland, Bram (author)Coastal areas around the world have always been densely populated areas. However, sea-level-rise and an increase in single extreme events due to climate change, threaten the coastal areas and their inhabitants. Governmental organizations, coastal managers and various private parties thrive for better insights into long-term shoreline behavior...master thesis 2021

Overgaauw, Tim (author)While waves are propagating towards the shore and are interrupted by an obstacle like a groyne, they will turn around the tip into the sheltered region of the groyne. This sheltered region is called the shadow zone and contains a reduced wave climate. The turning of the waves is based on the lateral transfer of wave energy along the wave crest,...master thesis 2021

Latella, Melissa (author), Luijendijk, A.P. (author), Moreno-Rodenas, Antonio M. (author), Camporeale, Carlo (author)In recent years, satellite imagery has shown its potential to support the sustainable management of land, water, and natural resources. In particular, it can provide key information about the properties and behavior of sandy beaches and the surrounding vegetation, improving the ecomor-phological understanding and modeling of coastal dynamics....journal article 2021

Schepper, Rob (author), Almar, Rafael (author), Bergsma, Erwin (author), de Vries, S. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), Davidson, Mark (author), Splinter, Kristen (author)In this paper, a new approach to model wave‐driven, cross‐shore shoreline change incorporating multiple timescales is introduced. As a base, we use the equilibrium shoreline prediction model ShoreFor that accounts for a single timescale only. High‐resolution shoreline data collected at three distinctly different study sites is used to train...journal article 2021

Calkoen, Floris (author), Luijendijk, A.P. (author), Rivero, Cristian Rodriguez (author), Kras, Etienne (author), Baart, F. (author)Forecasting shoreline evolution for sandy coasts is important for sustainable coastal management, given the present-day increasing anthropogenic pressures and a changing future climate. Here, we evaluate eight different time-series forecasting methods for predicting future shorelines derived from historic satellite-derived shorelines....journal article 2021

Spinosa, A. (author), Ziemba, A.M. (author), Saponieri, Alessandra (author), Damiani, Leonardo (author), El Serafy, G.Y.H. (author)Remote sensing and satellite imagery have become commonplace in efforts to monitor and model various biological and physical characteristics of the Earth. The land/water interface is a continually evolving landscape of high scientific and societal interest, making the mapping and monitoring thereof particularly important. This paper aims at...journal article 2021

van Meurs, Tom (author)The Houtribdijk is a dike intersecting the IJsselmeer and Markermeer, and is partly reinforced by the construction of sandy shores. The sand eliminates the wave loads before they can reach the levee. Making use of sandy shores as flood protection in a freshwater lake environment is unique. The main goal of this thesis was to find the causes of...master thesis 2020

Onrust, Menno (author)The world's coasts are at risk: an estimated 24% of the world's beaches are eroding. Extreme events such as storms continuously threaten the coastal region and pose a serious risk of coastal flooding. Under the influence of climate change, the seaward pressures are only expected to increase. Sea level rise is accelerating, storm intensities and...master thesis 2020

Sabour, Salma (author), Brown, Sally (author), Nicholls, Robert J. (author), Haigh, Ivan D. (author), Luijendijk, A.P. (author)Natural World Heritage Sites (NWHS), which are of Outstanding Universal Value, are increasingly threatened by natural and anthropogenic pressures. This is especially true for coastal NWHS, which are additionally subject to erosion and flooding. This paper assesses shoreline change from 1984 to 2016 within the boundaries of 67 designated sites...journal article 2020

(author), Costas, Susana (author), Nienhuis, Jaap (author)Prediction of the shoreline response behind offshore breakwaters is essential for coastal protection projects. Due to the complexity of the processes behind the breakwaters (e.g., wave diffraction, currents, longshore transport), detailed modelling needs high computational efforts. Therefore, simplifying the process effect in a simpler...journal article 2020

Mudde, Casper (author)In the field of coastal engineering computational models are a commonly used tool to gain insight in dynamics of a coastal system, to gain insight in or hindcast the historical development or can be used as engineering tool to assess the efficiency and consequences of a proposed coastal measure. A new coastline model, called ShorelineS, is under...master thesis 2019

Kras, Etienne (author)Today's coastal zones are densely inhabited as the majority of the world's population lives in these attractive areas. The shorelines in coastal zones are shaped by complex spatial and temporal variable interactions between natural forcings like changes in mean sea-level, tides, wave and wind conditions, and storm surges. Besides, natural...master thesis 2019

Do, T.K.A. (author), de Vries, S. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)Shoreline-change data are of primary importance for understanding coastal erosion and deposition as well as for studying coastal morphodynamics. Shoreline extraction from satellite images has been used as a low-cost alternative and as an addition to traditional methods. In this work, satellite-derived shorelines and corresponding shoreline...journal article 2019
