Tam, Zeta (author)Sand wave is one of the large-scale seabed morphological features with a typical wave height of metres and a wavelength of hundreds of metres. Its mobile nature causes a nuisance to offshore infrastructure and marine transport. Pre-sweeping is a construction procedure commonly involved in submarine utilities installation to dredge existing sand...master thesis 2023

Francken, Felix (author)In 1990 the Dutch government passed legislation that dictates the South West Texel coast must be maintained with regard to the 1990 coastline. The coast is currently maintained by applying shoreface and beach nourishments with an interval of approximately 3 years, because it experiences erosion. The problems with this approach are that the...master thesis 2023

Thati, Chandusha (author)This thesis presents a comprehensive study on the development of a maturity model for dryports. Through an extensive literature review, key functions and requirements of dryports were identified, providing a foundational understanding for subsequent research. To validate and enhance the identified functions, a stakeholder analysis was conducted...master thesis 2023

Berning, Max (author)Flood defense will have to be strengthened all over the world as sea level rise poses great challenges for the safety of coastal settlements. Strengthening traditional hard flood defenses is becoming increasingly more difficult due to limited space in the coastal zone and large costs inflicted with renovation. Adaptive ‘soft solutions’ pose an...master thesis 2023

Guerra Medina, Daniel (author)Coastal areas are appealing for human beings and are the most populated areas of the world. Therefore, coastal processes have large impacts on economy and on millions of people's lives. Not only processes such as erosion, extreme events, and flood events must be understood and monitored, but the uncertainty given by the rapid climate change on...master thesis 2023

Bonenkamp, Marloes (author)A rise in the global mean temperature induced by climate change is expected to have a large impact on ecosystems in all regions of the world. One of the threats is accelerated sea level rise (SLR). This may induce the loss of intertidal areas in tidal inlet systems. The long-term morphological response of tidal inlet systems can be modelled...master thesis 2023

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

Amanda Hwa De Ai, Amanda (author)This thesis examines the impact of colonialism on the urban development of Kuching, a city in Sarawak, Malaysia. Many port cities in the greater Southeast Asia region were born from their strategic location along the trade route between India and China, which attracted Western powers to establish control over these coastal entrepots and their...student report 2023

Rutten, Martijn (author)Grabs are essential in the process of unloading a bulk carrier by grabbing bulk material such as iron ore from the cargo hold. Due to varying operational conditions, the consistency and the amount of payload can vary significantly. One of the largest varying operational conditions is the occurrence of irregular bulk surfaces. Therefore, it is...master thesis 2023

Jaarsma, Ruurd (author)Echosounders are used to monitor suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) in coastal management studies and to monitor dredge plumes. Due to the dependency on sediment properties like particle size, shape and density, performance of single frequency measurements is limited when sediment properties are changing.<br/><br/>Using multi-frequency...master thesis 2023

(author), Schlösser, Tom P.C. (author)Introduction: To date the aetiology of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is still not completely understood. There are mechanical theories that suggest symptomatic FAI is linked to sagittal pelvic morphology and spinopelvic-femoral dynamics. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relation of sagittal pelvic morphology and orientation to...journal article 2023
