Morphodynamic optimisation study of the design of semi-permeable dams for rehabilitation of a mangrove-mud coast: A case study of the Building-with-Nature project in Demak, Indonesia

Due to the removal of mangrove forests, the coastal zone of Demak district has suffered from severe erosion. One of the proposed solutions to restore the sediment balance and encourage mangrove re-establishment, is the construction of semi-permeable dams. This study aims to optimise the design of such structures. A 2DH site-specific model was...

The Wind of Changes on the Kapellebank Tidal Flat, The Westerschelde

The existence of tidal flat is beneficial for human beings, but it faces the risk of being vanished by continuous intervention, either by nature or human. Therefore, researches about tidal-flat’s morphodynamics are required for the sake of its preservation. Here, the subject of the research is the Kapellebank tidal flat in the Westerschelde...
