Koch, Pim (author)Sea level rise caused by climate change directly affects and threatens low-lying countries. In August of 2021, the report of the IPCC was published, and the findings were disturbing. The sea could rise by a few meters in the coming centuries, causing floods in large parts of West-Europe. Groeskamp and Kjellson proposed a solution to adapt to the...master thesis 2022

Scherpbier, Mieke (author)Climate change is causing the global sea level to rise. Research and discussion of the effects of sea level rise are often focused along coastlines. However, the effects of higher water level and changing morphodynamics can reach far inland via rivers. This study uses a one-dimensional numerical model to analyze bed level response to sea level...master thesis 2022

Nota, Hugo (author)The effects of climate change are felt all around the world. An increased sea level goes hand in hand with an increased risk of flooding. To combat this, the coastlines must be reinforced to withstand future sea levels. However, repeatedly reinforcing coastlines to keep up with the sea level rise (SLR) could prove extremely costly. An...master thesis 2022

Hermans, T.H.J. (author), Katsman, C.A. (author), Machado Lima de Camargo, C. (author), Garner, Gregory G. (author), Kopp, Robert E. (author), Slangen, Aimée B.A. (author)Projections of relative sea level change (RSLC) are commonly reported at an annual mean basis. The seasonality of RSLC is often not considered, even though it may modulate the impacts of annual mean RSLC. Here, we study seasonal differences in twenty-first-century ocean dynamic sea level change (DSLC; 2081–2100 minus 1995–2014) on the...journal article 2022

(author)The estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) in the Yangtze Estuary Delta (YED) is muddy by definition and lacks bottom undulations. However, since 2013, a remarkable change has occurred in the YED. Recent images detected by a multibeam echosounder system, SeaBat 7125, for the first time have confirmed widespread regions of subaqueous dunes in the...journal article 2022

Luijendijk, Arjen (author), Kras, Etiënne (author), Dagalaki, Vasiliki (author), Morelissen, Robin (author), Hoteit, Ibrahim (author), Ranasinghe, Roshanka (author)The Saudi Arabian tourism sector is growing, and its economy has flourished over the last decades. This has resulted in numerous coastal developments close to large economic centers, while many more are proposed or planned. The coastal developments have influenced the behavior of the shoreline in the past. Here we undertake a national...journal article 2022

Elmilady, H.M.S.M.A. (author), van der Wegen, M. (author), Roelvink, D. (author), van der Spek, A. (author)Intertidal shoals are key features of estuarine environments worldwide. Climate change poses questions regarding the sustainability of intertidal areas under sea-level rise (SLR). Our work investigates the SLR impact on the long-term morphological evolution of unvegetated intertidal sandy shoals in a constrained channel-shoal system....journal article 2022

Huismans, Y. (author), van der Spek, A.J.F. (author), Lodder, Q.J. (author), Zijlstra, Robert (author), Elias, Edwin (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)The Wadden Sea is a unique intertidal wetland area, forming an important hub for migratory water birds. A feared effect of accelerated sea-level rise (SLR) is the gradual loss or even disappearance of the ecologically valuable intertidal flats. To date, the effect of SLR on the time-evolution of the intertidal areas in the Dutch Wadden Sea...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

Decision-makers are often required to make decisions without certainty of the consequences and understanding their effects on intergenerational justice. Thus, managing...journal article 2022

Bamber, J. L. (author), Oppenheimer, M. (author), Kopp, R. E. (author), Aspinall, W. P. (author), Cooke, R.M. (author)The ice sheets covering Antarctica and Greenland present the greatest uncertainty in, and largest potential contribution to, future sea level rise. The uncertainty arises from a paucity of suitable observations covering the full range of ice sheet behaviors, incomplete understanding of the influences of diverse processes, and limitations in...journal article 2022

Steffelbauer, D.B. (author), Riva, R.E.M. (author), Timmermans, Jos (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Bakker, M. (author)Global mean sea-level rise (SLR) has accelerated since 1900 from less than 2 mm yr-1 during most of the century to more than 3 mm yr-1 since 1993. Decision-makers in coastal countries, however, require information on SLR at the regional scale, where detection of an acceleration in SLR is difficult, because the long-term sea-level signal is...journal article 2022

Taberna, A. (author), Filatova, T. (author), Roventini, Andrea (author), Lamperti, Francesco (author)By 2050 about 70% of the world's population is expected to live in cities. Cities offer spatial economic advantages that boost agglomeration forces and innovation, fostering further concentration of economic activities. For historic reasons urban centers cluster along coasts, which are prone to climate-induced flooding and sea level rise. To...journal article 2022

(author), Marzeion, Ben (author), Mottram, Ruth (author), van Calcar, C.J. (author)Coastal areas are highly diverse, ecologically rich, regions of key socio-economic activity, and are particularly sensitive to sea-level change. Over most of the 20th century, global mean sea level has risen mainly due to warming and subsequent expansion of the upper ocean layers as well as the melting of glaciers and ice caps. Over the last...journal article 2022
