Tidal basins are connected to the outer sea by one or more tidal inlets. In this presentation, we focus on so-called double inlet systems, i.e., tidal inlet systems with two connecting channels. A typical example is the Marsdiep-Vlie system, located in the Dutch Wadden Sea. Using

Morphodynamic Equilibria in Double-Inlet Systems
Existence and Stability
The existence of morphodynamic equilibria of double-inlet systems is investigated using a cross-sectionally averaged morphodynamic model. The number of possible equilibria and their stability strongly depend on the forcing conditions and geometry considered. This is illustrate ...
Tidally averaged sediment transport in a semi-enclosed tidal basin
Influence of tidal flats
The tidally averaged sediment transport is important for the stability of the tidal system, since this transport has to vanish in morphodynamic equilibrium. Hence net import (export) of sediment at the seaward boundary indicates that the basin’s bathymetry is still evolving in ti

Debris flows are driven by gravity, which in the tail region is overcome by the yield strength of the flow, forcing it to freeze. These flows are capable of achieving staggeringly large run-out distances on low gradients. The case in point, described in previous publications, is

The depositional architectures of deep-water turbiditic deposits are strongly influenced by seafloor topography. Slope gradient variations of less than one degree might be sufficient to change the distribution of sands significantly along the basin profile. Stratigraphic units of
