Abstract
Salt intrusion poses a global threat to estuaries and deltas and is exacerbated by climate change through processes such as sea-level rise and prolonged droughts. This thesis aims to increase the understanding of salt intrusion dynamics in a complex delta system, particularly during drought conditions, using extensive field observations from the Rhine–Meuse Delta, including both moored and shipborne measurements....
