van Westen, B. (author), Luijendijk, Arjen (author), de Vries, S. (author), Cohn, Nicholas (author), Leijnse, Tim W.B. (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author)Quantitative predictions of marine and aeolian sediment transport in the nearshore–beach–dune system are important for designing Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in coastal environments. To quantify the impact of the marine-aeolian interactions on shaping NBS, we present a framework coupling three existing process-based models: Delft3D Flexible...journal article 2024

Kettler, T.T. (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), Luijendijk, Arjen (author)Projections of high rates of sea level rise have stimulated proposals for adaptation strategies with increasingly high nourishment volumes along sandy beaches. An underlying assumption is that coastal profiles respond rapidly to nourishments by redistributing sediments towards a (new) equilibrium shape. However, this perception may not be...journal article 2024

Wijsman, Jeroen W.M. (author), Prins, Theo C. (author), Moons, J. J.Simeon (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author)Sand nourishment is a widespread management strategy to protect sandy coasts against erosion. Nourishments can impact the benthic fauna directly by burial and indirectly by changing environmental conditions such as bottom shear stress and/or sediment composition (grain size distribution). The macrobenthic community in soft-bottom environments...journal article 2023

Ribas, Francesca (author), Portos-Amill, Laura (author), Falqués, Albert (author), Arriaga, Jaime (author), Marcos, Marta (author), Ruessink, Gerben (author)Mean sea-level rise (MSLR) will induce shoreline recession, increasing the stress on coastal systems of high socio-economic and environmental values. Localized mega-nourishments are meant to alleviate erosion problems by diffusing alongshore over decades and thus feeding adjacent beaches. The 21-st century morphological evolution of the...journal article 2023

Dutch experience with sand nourishments for dynamic coastline conservation – An operational overviewBrand, Evelien (author), Ramaekers, Gemma (author), Lodder, Q.J. (author)The Dutch coast is one of the most heavily nourished coasts globally. An average of 12 mln. m3 is annually added to the coastline of only 432 km for dynamic coastline conservation. This study provides an overview of the operational aspects of the more than 300 nourishments for coastline maintenance that have been performed since the 1990s and...journal article 2022

Lodder, Q.J. (author), Huismans, Y. (author), Elias, Edwin (author), de Looff, Harry (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)The sediment exchange between the Dutch Wadden Sea and the North Sea coastal zone is of key importance to Dutch coastal management. Net sediment import from the coastal zone to the Wadden Sea results in coastal erosion which needs to be compensated through nourishments. At the same time net sediment import is the source of sediment for the...journal article 2022

Kroon, J. (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), de Vries, S. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Sandy nourishments can provide additional sediment to the coastal system to maintain its recreational or safety function under rising sea levels. These nourishments can be implemented at sandy beach systems, but can also be used to reinforce gray coastal infrastructure (e.g., dams, dikes, seawalls). The Hondsbossche Dunes project is a combined...journal article 2022

Wijsman, Jeroen W.M. (author), Craeymeersch, Johan A. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author)Epifauna and infauna are often sampled by different types of sampling devices including grabs, and dredges, depending on various factors such as local environmental conditions, research questions and available budget. Because grabs and dredges have a different species-specific selectivity, both methods could be complementary but for some...journal article 2022

van Bergen, J. (author), Mulder, J. (author), Nijhuis, S. (author), Poppema, D. (author), Wijnberg, K. (author), Kuschnerus, M. (author)Sandy shores worldwide suffer from coastal erosion due to a lack of sediment input and sea-level rise. In response, coastal sand nourishments are executed using ‘Building with Nature’ techniques (BwN), in which the sand balance is amplified and natural dynamics are instrumental in the redistribution of sand, cross- and alongshore. These...journal article 2021

Pearson, S.G. (author), van Prooijen, Bram (author), Poleykett, Jack (author), Wright, Matthew (author), Black, Kevin (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Sediment tracer studies use uniquely identifiable particles to track the pathways and fate of individual sand or silt grains in marine environments. These techniques are best applied to assess connectivity between potential sediment sources and sinks, such as between a sand nourishment and an ecologically sensitive area. Significant challenges...journal article 2021

Roest, Lambertus W.M. (author), de Vries, S. (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Recently, mega feeder nourishments have been proposed as a new strategy to nourish sediment-starving beaches. This strategy involves the placement of a large, concentrated sediment volume at a single location along the coast. Wind, waves and currents act as the natural agents to spread the sediment alongshore over the course of years to decades....journal article 2021

(author), Luijendijk, Arjen (author), Ysebaert, Tom (author)The Sand Motor is a very large (20 million m<sup>3</sup>) nourishment constructed along the coast in The Netherlands. The huge volume of sand is redistributed along the coast by natural forces stemming from tidal currents and waves. For environmental evaluation of this large construction, the benthic subtidal fauna has been sampled prior to...journal article 2021

Kroon, J. (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Sand nourishments are increasingly applied as adaptive coastal protection measures. Predictions of the evolution of these nourishments and their impact on the surrounding coastline contain many uncertainties. The sources that add to this uncertainty can be delineated between intrinsic and epistemic uncertainty, i.e. inevitably in the system or...journal article 2020

van Bemmelen, C.W.T. (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), Darnall, J. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Beach scarps are nearly vertical seaward facing sandy cliffs within the cross-shore beach profile. These features are often associated with eroding (nourished) coastlines and can reach heights of O(2–3 m). An analysis of a six-year dataset of beach scarp presence at the nourished Sand Engine beach shows that the formation of beach scarps at the...journal article 2020

(author), Friedman, Joshua (author)Coastal management in the Netherlands has the aim to defend coastal zones by preventing flooding and mitigating erosion. To that end, large-scale nourishments are placed in the nearshore, which are supposed to dynamically preserve the coastal zone over a timescale of years. To assess their effectiveness, these nourishments are monitored over...journal article 2020

Hoonhout, B.M. (author), de Vries, S. (author)Mega nourishments are a novel approach to stimulating coastal safety and resilience. Mega nourishments are intended to spread along the coast on a decadal time scale by natural sediment transport processes with a minimum of intrusion into the natural coastal system. The supratidal morphodynamic behaviour of mega nourishments is not well...journal article 2019
