Berghuijs, W.R. (author), Van Osnabrugge, B. (author)Recently, a promising method for measuring tidal slack using GPS receivers attached to buoys has been tested. The next step is to build a wireless GPS system which conducts measurements continuous and real-time. This research primarily focuses on the development of the hardware of that GPS system. Secondly it focuses on modeling the buoy...bachelor thesis 2012

de Groot, Hugo (author)The salinity profile in a coastal sea-river system is the result of balancing of salt transport due to mixing of the water by tides and the freshwater discharge from the river. When for example during times of drought freshwater discharge suddenly declines, the salinity in the river may increase significantly and threaten drinking water supplies...bachelor thesis 2023

Arends, A.A. (author)Tijdens deze studie zijn de lange termijn ontwikkelingen onderzocht die zullen plaatsvinden in de monding van het Haringvliet als gevolg van verschillende ingrepen, t.w. het doorsteken van de Brielse Gatdam, een uitbreiding van de Maasvlakte en een ander spuibeheer van de Haringvlietsluizen. Daarvoor is eerst een analyse gemaakt van de ingrepen...master thesis 1997

Zuñiga Blanco, M.J. (author)The city of Puntarenas in Costa Rica is one of the many examples along the country’s pacific coast, where settlements have developed and survived by the extraction/exploitation of marine resources and the chain of industries that follow. Currently, these coastal communities are being affected by an amount of socio-economical issues, some...master thesis 2020

Yu, M. (author)Existing Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) for Poole Harbour was the first generation produced in 2004, which is before statutory obligations to protect the natural coastline were fully realised. Under the idea of ‘adopting a sustainable policy for the longer-term’, at present the second generation of SMP is being produced. This study was...master thesis 2009

Kerckhoven, J.D.M. (author)The morphological behaviour of estuaries is complex and at present (1995) not well understood. Ebb and flood channels play an important role in the morphological behaviour of an estuary. In order to get more insight in the morphological behaviour of such systems it is studied whether a 1-D morphodynamic network model gives insight in this...master thesis 1995

Nijzink, R.C. (author)Dispersion is often hard to incorporate in analytical salt intrusion models. The analytical models of Savenije (1986) and Kuijper & Van Rijn (2011) are quite similar and use a predictive equation for the dispersion in the estuary mouth. The biggest difference between the two models is the Van der Burgh K for which Kuijper and Van Rijn stated...master thesis 2013

Eikema, B.J.O. (author)In dit rapport is een onderzoek uitgevoerd naar de morfologische ontwikkeling van het gebied rond de Slufter. De Slufter is een depot voor de berging van verontreinigde baggerspecie uit het benedenrivierengebied en is gesitueerd voor de kust van de Maasvlakte. In de Projectnota/MER (1985) van het Slufterproject zijn voorspellingen gedaan over de...master thesis 1996

Donkers, Paul (author)The goal of this thesis is to create a theoreticalmodel that captures the influence of wind on the horizontal and vertical salinity distribution in an estuary, as well as the dynamics that arise within the estuary. A secondary, numerical model, that uses fewer assumptions, will be developed and analysed. This serves to determine whether the...master thesis 2020

Rabbers, H.H. (author)Het Sieperdaschor is ontstaan uit de voormalige Selenapolder, nadat in februari '90 tijdens een zware storm de zomerkade is doorgebroken. Reparatie bleek te kostbaar en daarom is in overleg met Zeeuws Landschap besloten om de dijk niet te herstellen. Dit bood een goede gelegenheid om de ontwikkeling van polder tot schor te onderzoeken. Dit mede...master thesis 1998

De Vries, S. (author)Small blind estuaries are a common phenomenon on the coast of Nicaragua, but unfortunately not much is known on their hydrological characteristics. A blind estuary can be identified by a sandbar that temporarily closes the estuary from sea. These blind estuaries often have very diverse flora and fauna on which they play an important ecological...master thesis 2016

Boers, W. (author)Aim of this graduation project is to improve the resilience of the Broad Channel Community against future storm surge. The design of the Broad Channel Resilience Center strengthens the community by adding social functions, educates and forms consensus for resilient living and serves a relief function after a storm surge.master thesis 2015

D' Hont, F.M. (author)The Slufter is an estuary located in Texel’s North Sea dunes and protects the hinterland from flooding from the North Sea. As the multi actor environment and the diversity of values and functions associated with the Slufter are recognized, this research focuses on developing an approach for the district water board to broaden the knowledge base...master thesis 2014

Van Ormondt, M. (author)Computer models are commonly used to simulate the behaviour of the coast in response to natural processes (e.g. storms, extreme sea levels) or management plans (e.g. beach nourishment, channel dredging). The COAST3D project was initiated to improve and validate these numerical models. COAST3D stands for Coastal Study of ThreeDimensional Sand...master thesis 2000

Zimmermann, N. (author)The Westerschelde estuary in the South-West of the Netherlands displays two meandering flood and ebb channels separated by shoals. The system of flood, ebb channel and shoal between two channel crossings form a morphological cell. The stability of the serial cell system formed by the Westerschelde is important for the navigation route to the...master thesis 2009

Blacquière, A.R. (author)In het kader van een afstudeerproject is een studie verricht naar de morfologische ontwikkeling van de Westerschelde sinds 1650 volgens eendimensionale rekenmodellen. De validatie van dit soort modellen is namelijk een probleem. Van de Westerschelde bestaat weliswaar een groot aantal meerdimensionale modellen, maar door de grote hoeveelheid aan...master thesis 1998

Verheijen, Anne Hans (author)Intertidal flats and salt marshes can protect hinterland against wave energy and flooding by tides or storm surges. Thus, the development of tidal flats is important to foresee. The presence of specific small scale features could indicate a certain development and large scale morphological shape. The shape is a predictor for development and it...master thesis 2018

Pubben, S.G.T. (author)Estuaries are complex systems that show a variety of hydrodynamic conditions. These conditions are influenced by bathymetry, geometry, climate characteristics, interacting fresh and salt water flows, and mixing effects caused by winds and wind-waves. The interaction between fresh and salt water flows in combination with mixing effects caused by...master thesis 2017
