Speth, Florine (author)Coral reefs are considered to be a crucial ecosystem and form of natural coastal protection. They owe their effectiveness to their high structural complexity. This complexity, which positively influences aspects like species richness, coral recovery, live coral cover, and coastal protection, is often quantified using parameters such as porosity...master thesis 2023

Marin-Diaz, Beatriz (author), van der Wal, Daphne (author), Kaptein, Leon (author), Martinez-Garcia, Pol (author), Lashley, Christopher H. (author), de Jong, Kornelis (author), Nieuwenhuis, Jan Willem (author), Govers, Laura L. (author), Olff, Han (author), Bouma, Tjeerd J. (author)Salt marshes fronting coastal structures, such as seawalls and dikes, may offer important ecosystem-based coastal defence by reducing the wave loading and run-up levels during storms. We question (i) how the long-term salt marsh development in the Dutch Wadden Sea relates to the tidal-flat foreshore bathymetry and (ii) how the wave run-up...journal article 2023

Gallardo Torres, Victor (author)Wave surfing is a water sport in which a surfer uses a board to ride a wave towards the shore. It is done in the coastal areas around the globe. Each surf spot has its own wave quality depending on the wave climate and the type of coast. Some spots have year-round perfect waves and other surf spots only work ’when the stars are aligned.’ The...student report 2022

van Wijk, J. M. (author), de Hoog, E. (author), Talmon, A.M. (author), van Rhee, C. (author)The hydraulic transport of sediments in sediment–water multiphase mixtures is an important process in nature and many industrial applications. The flows are characterized by complex transient phenomena, in which the overall system scale and the particle scale are equally important. Experimental research into dense mixture flows is focused on...journal article 2022

van der Zanden, Joep (author), van der Hout, A.J. (author), Otto, William (author), Spaargaren, Floor (author), Walles, Brenda (author), de Wilde, Jaap (author)Floating breakwaters are moored structures that attenuate wave energy through a combination of reflection and dissipation. Studies into floating breakwaters have been generally restricted to optimising the attenuation performance. This study presents a novel floating breakwater type that was developed to have good attenuation performance while...journal article 2022

van Dongen, Lotte (author)Because the demand for green energy increases rapidly, it is expected that solar and wind energy will dominate future power generation. New in this field is the development of offshore floating solar systems, consisting of multiple interconnected platforms that are covered with PV panels. Besides satisfying the demand for electricity, these...master thesis 2021

Sigel, Luis (author)An increasing amount of the worlds coastal regions suffer from structural erosion due to anthropogenic influences. A prime example for this phenomenon is the Oosterschelde, Netherlands, where the partial closure of an estuary lead to a decline of the local intertidal flats, threatening the valuable functions they provide as an ecosystem and for...master thesis 2021

Azevedo Vasconcelos, A.C. (author), Schott, D.L. (author), Aragon, A.M. (author), Jovanova, J. (author)This paper discusses an elastic metamaterial for filtering energy from certain frequencies of an incoming wave. The unit cell, which is composed by a single material, is built to obtain a local resonance band gap. Since Bloch-Floquet's periodic condition is enforced to the unit cell, the dynamic characteristics of the metamaterial is obtained...conference paper 2021

van der Velden, Marieke (author)The Engineering Office of the municipality of Amsterdam is developing six man-made islands in the IJmeer. One of the last islands will be Buiteneiland. The location and orientation of Buiteneiland is been agreed when IJburg was designed. The area of interest of this study is the land-water transition at the east side of the island. The IJmeer's...master thesis 2020

Ascencio Ascencio, Jaime (author)Climate change puts under pressure existing and future coastal interventions. Growing threats like sea-level rise and intensity of storms require solutions to be adaptable and resilient. Nature-based solutions have shown to tackle these challenges while providing social, environmental, and economic benefits. The role of vegetation in coastal...master thesis 2020

Willemsen, Pim W.J.M. (author), Borsje, Bas W. (author), Vuik, V. (author), Bouma, Tjeerd J. (author), Hulscher, Suzanne J.M.H. (author)Foreshores consisting of both bare tidal flats and vegetated salt marshes are found worldwide and they are well studied for their wave attenuating capacity. However, most studies only focus on the small scale: just some isolated locations in space and only up to several years in time. In order to stimulate the implementation of foreshores...journal article 2020

Kuijpers, Ties (author)Mineral oil spills at sea can have many negative consequences. For both preventive and responsive purposes, it is essential to accurately forecast oil spill evolution. Shear diffusion (in this context, i.e. the combined effect of vertical mixing and differentiated horizontal advection of mass) determines for a significant part the evolution of...master thesis 2019

Damdam, Khaled (author)Coastal zones have been a dynamic area and most favoured locations utilized for living, leisure, recreational activities, tourism, commerce and many other human activities. Submerged and floating breakwaters have been used as effective systems to protect these zones from wave attack. However, they are only effectively functional if the incident...master thesis 2019

Borsje, Ruben (author)Demak is a regency within the province of Central Java, Indonesia, with a mud-mangrove coast bordering the Java Sea. The region is facing a rapid retreat of the coastline, threatening the livelihood of a large part of the population. The main cause of the erosion is the deforestation of the green belt of mangroves. This has disturbed the...master thesis 2019

Phan Khanh, L. (author)This study explores the influence of the wave characteristics on the attenuation process of waves through coastal mangroves, which are threatened by the coastal mangrove squeeze phenomenon. Coastal mangrove squeeze is the phenomenon where coastal regions, even when sediment availability is sufficient, are eroding due to a lack of accommodation...doctoral thesis 2019

Vuik, V. (author), van Vuren, S. (author), Borsje, Bas W. (author), van Wesenbeeck, B (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)Vegetated foreshores adjacent to engineered structures (so-called hybrid flood defenses), are considered to have high potential in reducing flood risk, even in the face of sea level rise and increasing storminess. However, foreshores such as salt marshes and mangrove forests are generally characterized by relatively strong temporal and...journal article 2018

Schilder, Simon (author), Harteveld, Rens (author), van Vliet, Marc (author), Odijk, Maik (author)Tourism is one of the main sources of income of Jamaica. . However, at the moment the beaches are retreating. An example is the erosion of Hellshire Beach, showing a retreat of ten meters in only seven years. To preserve the beaches effectively, a new concept is requested. The main requirements of the system are wave attenuation and the marine...student report 2018

Stam, Martine (author)Flood defenses are important to keep large parts of the Netherlands dry. These primary flood defences<br/>are every twelve years assessed on safety during the Dutch national safety assessment. In 2017, the new<br/>safety standards (WBI2017) were introduced. These stricter standards caused that in total 251 km of the<br/>primary flood defences...master thesis 2018

Vuik, V. (author), Suh Heo, H.Y. (author), Zhu, Zhenchang (author), Borsje, Bas W. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)One of the services provided by coastal ecosystems is wave attenuation by vegetation, and subsequent reduction of wave loads on flood defense structures. Therefore, stability of vegetation under wave forcing is an important factor to consider. This paper presents a model which determines the wave load that plant stems can withstand before...journal article 2018
