Afrasteh, Y. (author)Establishing an accurate global unified vertical reference frame (VRF) is a long-standing objective of geodesy. However, that objective has still not been achieved. One particular application where the lack of such a VRF is evident, is the improvement of hydrodynamic models by assimilating total water levels acquired by tide gauges. Indeed, to...doctoral thesis 2024

Overes, P.H.P. (author), Borsje, B. W. (author), Luijendijk, Arjen (author), Hulscher, S. J.M.H. (author)Sand waves are found on shallow, sandy seabeds throughout the world and their dynamics may pose an imminent threat to offshore construction. Therefore, there is a pressing need to understand bed level dynamics in sand wave areas. These bed level dynamics lead to variations in sand wave shape and migration rate over time. However, these...journal article 2024

(author), Parker, Kai (author), Thomas, Jennifer (author), O’Neill, Andrea (author), van Ormondt, Maarten (author), McCall, Robert (author), Erikson, Li (author), Barnard, Patrick L. (author)Subtropical coastlines are impacted by both tropical and extratropical cyclones. While both may lead to substantial damage to coastal communities, it is difficult to determine the contribution of tropical cyclones to coastal flooding relative to that of extratropical cyclones. We conduct a large-scale flood hazard and impact assessment across...journal article 2024

Wu, Guofeng (author), Liu, Qing (author), Xu, H. (author), Wang, Jun (author)Low-lying coastal areas are threatened worldwide by compound flooding effects, including sea-level rise (SLR), frequent tropical cyclones (TCs), and accelerated land subsidence (LS). Compound flooding results in a negative effect, creating challenges for decision-making and coastal management for sustainable urban development. To comprehend...journal article 2024

de Rijke, Demi (author)This study focuses on optimizing the use of high-performance computing on public cloud infrastructure, along with information theory, for assessing water systems. These assessments are computationally intensive and can benefit from parallel computing and the evaluation of the collected data with information theory. A case study of a water system...master thesis 2023

Castréllon Romero, M.G. (author), Popescu, I.I. (author)Gatun Lake, located in the Panama Canal Watershed (PCW), is the main source of freshwater for the Canal's operations and it provides drinking water for nearly 600,000 people, which represents roughly 15% of the country's population. Since its creation at the beginning of the 20th century, Gatun Lake has slowly been transitioning from a swamp...conference paper 2023

de Fockert, Anton (author), Bijlsma, Arnout C. (author), O'Mahoney, Tom S.D. (author), Verbruggen, Wilbert (author), Scheijgrond, Peter C. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Hydraulic structures can be a promising place for tidal energy extraction due to the high flow velocities, easy access to the power grid and easy access for maintenance. However, quantification of the impacts of a tidal power plant in a hydraulic structure is not straight forward. In 2015 a pilot plant consisting of an array of five Tocardo...journal article 2023

(author), Apecechea, Maialen Irazoqui (author), Mengel, Matthias (author), Verlaan, M. (author)In the coming decades, coastal flooding will become more frequent due to sea-level rise and potential changes in storms. To produce global storm surge projections from 1950 to 2050, we force the Global Tide and Surge Model with a ∼25-km resolution climate model ensemble from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 High Resolution...journal article 2023

de Wilde, Tim (author)A managed realignment is the landward relocation of a flood defence to re-establish tidal exchange on formerly reclaimed land. In a managed realignment, the newly formed intertidal area acts together with the realigned dike as a nature-based flood defence system. In this thesis, the focus is on the managed realignment of Perkpolder, a former...master thesis 2022

van Noppen, Thirza (author)Second-order Gaussian kernels have been utilized to develop three algorithms that could automatically extract ridge lines for hydrodynamic modelling. Isotropic second-order Gaussian kernels produce inaccurate lines at crossings and junctions. To avoid the malfunctioning of Second-order Gaussian kernels, one default and two alternative algorithms...master thesis 2022

(author), van der Heuvel, Jasper (author), Diaz, Andres (author)Mean sea level rise (SLR) could increase up to 2m by 2100, which would see damage caused by coastal flooding in Europe increase from €1.25bn per annum currently to €961bn in just over 80 years. Urban areas situated along the North Sea coastline are particularly vulnerable to extreme sea level rise (a combination of SLR, tide and storm surges)....journal article 2022

Schlumberger, Julius (author)Flooding has been a serious risk to the old-town of Venice, its residents and cultural heritage and continues to be a challenge in future. Despite this existence-defining condition, limited scientific knowledge on flood hazard and flood damage modelling of the old-town of Venice is available to support decisions to mitigate existing and future...master thesis 2021

Mullens, Ian (author)Recent studies have shown that flood risk contributes to a major part of the total risk caused by natural hazards in Western Europe. Especially in the United Kingdom, flood risk has been identified as a substantial threat, which is likely to continue to grow due to (coastal) urbanisation, sea level rise and climate change. A separate study has...master thesis 2021
