Boorsma, Reinder (author)The Wadden Sea is of great ecological importance. Key elements in the Wadden Sea are the extensive intertidal flats. These contain vast amounts of life, serve as feeding grounds for millions of birds, and provide ecosystem services such as coastal protection. It follows that it is important to be able to understand and predict how these vital...master thesis 2024

Meijssen, Ries (author)The shift to sustainable energy sources has increased demand for Energy Transition Metals such as nickel, copper, cobalt, and manganese. To satisfy this need while reducing the negative social and environmental effects of conventional mining, Deep-sea Nodule Collection (DSNC) appears to be a feasible option. Despite its potential, DSNC...master thesis 2024

Grandiek, Teun (author)This study focuses on the infragravity (IG) waves at 5 measurement sites (Brouwershavense Gat 2 (BG2), Oosterschelde 4 (OS4), Cadzand, Hansweert and Bath) in the Scheldt region, examining their characteristics in these waters as well as to what extent they can be modelled using SWAN (Simulating WAves Nearshore). To facilitate this, data...master thesis 2024

den Haan, Adriaan (author)With the ever so rapid transition towards renewable energy, the offshore electricity transmission system has to expand. Towards 2050, a meshed offshore network is seen as a cost-effective solution to bring electricity to shore. Although there is no "one size fits all", a Cross-Border Cost Allocation procedure is the designated procedure to...master thesis 2024

Feenstra, Thirza (author)The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS), which stores freshwater equal to more than seven meters of potential sea level rise, strongly interacts with the global, Arctic and North Atlantic climate. In a warming climate, the GrIS has been losing mass and is projected to lose mass at an increasing rate. The interactions between the GrIS and the climate have...master thesis 2024

Sarra, Christina (author)The Bajau Laut or Sama Dilaut people are an ethnic group of sea nomads who used to roam between the Filipino, Malaysian, and Indonesian maritime zones. The Bajau are known to be amazing freedivers, being able to dive in depths of up to 30 meters and having the ability to hold their breath for more than 5 minutes, making them a group of people...master thesis 2024

Slokker, Marloes (author)The study explores the potential impact of accelerated sea level rise on coastal flood risk in the Netherlands, particularly focusing on the Plan B NL2200 approach. Sea levels are expected to rise faster than initially thought due to factors like Antarctica's melting ice. The Sea Level Rise Knowledge Program in the Netherlands investigates...master thesis 2023

Speksnijder, Andreas (author)An important trend exhibited by the offshore wind market is the increase in the size of wind turbines, leading to longer and stiffer monopiles with larger diameter-to-thickness ratios. Current transport analysis is focused on loads resulting from hydrodynamic accelerations, without taking loads into account resulting from differences in bending...master thesis 2023

Abhishek Rajaram, Abhishek (author)Transshipment is a key component of modern-day shipping logistics. Container supply chains rely on transhipment hubs to access remote locations. With globalisation driving growth in container trade, maritime congestion is rising at container terminals in ports worldwide. This is expected to worsen as demand continues to grow. The ill effects of...master thesis 2023

van Halsema, Jantine (author)Over the past decade, within many fields, there has been growing interest in thoughts and theories from the commons. In commons theory, the conceptualisation of something as a commons, is a way in which a common resource can be protected from enclosure, overexploitation or neglect by connecting it to a community which uses, manages and (re...master thesis 2023

Albers, Thomas (author)Some of the sediment which is eroded from the Dutch coast ends up in the Wadden Sea. Because of this the morphological development of the Wadden Sea is important, not only for the Wadden Sea itself but also for the maintenance programs of the adjacent coastlines. This is one of the reasons that the morphological development of the Wadden Sea is...master thesis 2023

Wientjes, Carmen (author)In the urban and coastal region surrounding the Marmara Sea, a detachment between human life and the ocean is emerging that seems primarily caused by the consequences of post-industrial anthropogenic processes. The effects are seen in the form of a mucilage plague in the waters, posing a threat to marine life, and thereby emphasizing the urgent...master thesis 2023

Dédina, Daniel (author)Sea turtles, with six of the seven species listed as endangered by the IUCN, face significant threats. Their eggs exhibit sensitivity to fluctuations in temperature, salinity, and moisture during their 6-8-week incubation period. Inundation of these eggs can substantially decrease their viability and influence sex ratios. This thesis centers on...master thesis 2023
