The influence of the tide, wind and waves on the large-scale sediment transport patterns in the Dutch Wadden Sea

The Wadden Sea is a large system of tidal flats and barrier islands. Its individual features have been heavily researched, but sufficient knowledge on the sediment transport patterns on the scale of the Wadden Sea is not yet available. This thesis aims to indicate the dominant sediment transport patterns in the Dutch Wadden Sea and the...

Long-term morphological evolution of the Western Dutch Wadden Sea

The present study considers long-term morphologic development of the inlets forming the Western Dutch Wadden Sea. This concerns analysis of field measurements carried out since closure of the Zuider Sea (1932) as well as an assessment of possible imporvements of long-term morphological prodictions made for this area using ASMITA. From field...
