▼ As extensive efforts from consumer drone manufacturers resulted in inexpensive aircrafts that can capture high quality video imagery, drones are increasingly considered to be beneficial for scientific purposes. In the recent past, video imagery has been used to analyze waves in terms of several hydrodynamic parameters and to indicate matching coastal features. Whereas these measurements have been acquired using static cameras mounted on large poles situated at beaches, this report exploits a recently developed method using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as a means to map coastal morphology. After recording aerial imagery in combination with several Ground Control Points (GCPs), several time series of georectified coastal images are compiled. Subsequently, for all of the points in a predefined grid, pixel intensities are stored throughout the time of the recording. Consequently, hydrodynamic data like wave celerity and phase are estimated, which in turn are used to invert water depths for every location in a predetermined area of interest using an algorithm called cBathy. Using reference measurements with an accuracy in the order of five centimeters, this report benchmarks the bathymetry as computed using the drone imagery by calculating the root mean squared error, the root mean squared error divided by the water depth and the mean error of three different sub areas within the area of interest. After calibrating parameters as used by the cBathy algorithm, it is shown that the best computation yielded a bathymetry with a root mean squared error of 0.37 meters for a total area of approximately 2500 square meters. It is also shown that the other datasets yield errors of approximately twice the error of the best dataset. It is shown that the total error can to a large extent be attributed to errors in the rectification part of the algorithm. The large errors and the large discrepancy between the errors make the method currently unsuitable for coastal monitoring purposes. Hence, before the UAV bathymetry mapping method is to replace traditional methods, more research should focus on standardizing the process and thereby decrease the variance between the errors of different datasets.

▼ In 2003, it was established that the sea dike between Petten and Camperduin was insufficiently safe. To ensure the safety of the hinterland against flooding, this part of the Dutch sea defence system needed to be strengthened. During the design process, the most favourable variant was to construct a dune and beach system in front of the sea dike, which was constructed soon after, and finished in 2015. This changed the 'hard' sea defence to a 'soft' one, linking the beaches and dunes in the north and south with each other. Thereby not only increasing the safety of this part of the coast, but also providing a new area reserved for recreation and nature. The change from a hard to a soft coastal system fundamentally changes the characteristics of the area. Where the old sea dike was a static structure, the newly constructed sandy beach and dune system is very dynamic in nature. The change in properties of this coastal defence stretch brings the question how the HD (Hondsbossche Dunes) can best be maintained to ensure its functions as a sea defence now and in the future. The answer to this question requires insight in the processes relevant to aeolian sediment transport in general, and for the HD in specific. With the knowledge of what processes are important for coastal dune growth in the HD, a model can be selected to make predictions on the likely development of the HD in the future. Aeolian sediment transport, much like hydrodynamic sediment transport, can be described as a balance between forcing and resistance against forcing. The most important factors which govern the dynamics of dune growth as a consequence of aeolian sediment transport are: wind speed and direction, grain size, humidity, sediment availability, beach slope, and vegetation. Especially vegetation (marram grass) is important, as it stabilizes the dunes with its roots and rhizomes below ground, and by locally decreasing the wind velocity with the biomass above ground. The above ground component of the marram grass not only stabilizes the present sediment, it also accommodates a sheltering effect for any incoming sand grains. Dune growth rate is the sum of incoming and outgoing aeolian sediment transport rates. For a healthy dune system, this must be a positive value, as this process negates the effect of dune erosion as a consequence of storm events. In the period between 2015-2018, positive dune growth rates have been observed. An alongshore dune growth velocity gradient has been found, with the highest growth rate being in the south. This is due to a combination of difference in vegetation health (being poorer in the north), and the orientation of the dunes in relation to the average wind direction (more onshore directed in the south). The dune growth rate has decreased over time, but has remained positive over the regarded period. This is due to the eroding beach, which decreases the sediment availability for aeolian transport. Another factor is the… Advisors/Committee Members: Goessen, P.

▼ This graduation project investigates the main processes that are influencing the morphological development of the Outer Weser estuary by setting up a process-based model (Delft 3D) and applying it by means of simulating multiple scenarios, each driven by a different forcing. The aim of this project is to gain insight into the causes for the development of a two channel system in the Outer Weser and into the origin of the related alternation pattern of a dominant channel. Due to the construction of training walls and groynes at the end of the 19th century, the described characteristics disappeared and thus, they are a historical phenomenon but yet today not fully understood. However, to gain insight into the natural development in the Outer Weser estuary is beneficial for current and future engineering projects. For the investigation a schematic model is generated in which only essential processes are considered and simplified. By applying a flat bed as initial bathymetry, using simplified boundary conditions, multiplying the morphological changes with a morphological factor and using relatively coarse grid, the model is able to predict long term morphodynamics. In the next step scenarios are composed by considering the most relevant processes that could be responsible for the generation of two channels and for the alternation, leading to six scenarios. These scenarios are compared to a base case. In order to investigate the morphologic equilibrium, the development of two channels and their cyclic behavior, a number of methods are applied. These include time depended hypsometries, cumulative bed load transport, visual inspection and a special method for characterization of channel forms / geometries in a cross-section. The six scenarios cover the influences of the Kelvin wave, the Coriolis effect, wind waves, extreme river discharge, the absence of river discharge and an increased tidal range. All simulations have a period of ten years of hydromechanics which in combination with the applied morphological factor of 400 results in 4000 years of morphodynamics. The scenarios as well as the reference simulation reach a morphologic equilibrium within the first fourth of the simulation time. Afterwards, all simulations reveal the development of two channels with different dimensions and locations with respect to the reference simulation: While the scenarios excluding the Kelvin wave and river discharge result in a stronger development of the western channel, the scenario excluding Coriolis and the scenario including wave action lead to a more dominant eastern channel. The simulation with extreme discharge and the simulation with an increased tidal range do not favor one of the two channels. For the alternation, the developed evaluation method indicates an alternation between western dominance and equal dominance for the no Kelvin wave and no river discharge scenarios. For the no Coriolis scenario the alternation is observed between eastern dominance and equal dominance. No alternation is found for the extreme… Advisors/Committee Members: Wang, Zheng Bing (graduation committee), van Prooijen, Bram (mentor), de Vries, Sierd (mentor), Zorndt, Anna (mentor), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

▼ This thesis presents a case study on beach growth of a South Holland beach located slightly north of the Sand Motor over the course of six months, which was measured using a terrestrial laser scanner (TLS). This device was set up to continuously take hourly full coverage measurements of a one kilometre stretch of beach from a hotel rooftop. As sea-levels rise, interest in the morphological processes that take place on beaches is growing, so that coastal safety can be continued to be guaranteed in the future. As a result, it becomes increasingly relevant to understand the transport of sediment towards the beach. Existing studies on the subject focus on timescales of years to decades, often making use of GPS measurements. However, no thorough research has been performed on sub-annual timescales in over a decade, leading to the following main research question for this thesis: How is beach volume growth distributed on sub-annual time scale, both in spatial and temporal dimensions? To validate the data obtained by the TLS, an accuracy check was performed which proved the standard deviation of the measurements to be much smaller than the observed morphological change. A rotational instability of the scanning device was discovered and corrected, however a higher measurement accuracy could be obtained by developing a more detailed correction method. The applied correction method did however no longer allow for the study of smaller fluxes such as aeolian transport, as they are overruled by it. It was investigated how the raw 3D data obtained from the TLS should be processed to obtain a clean timeseries of cross-sections. A framework is presented that includes noise detection and removal, object filtering, interpolation and subsampling. Subsequently, timeseries of 132 cross-sections were extracted from the data by selecting a daily low tide scan for 132 days along 4 different transects. The resulting timeseries clearly display morphological activity such as intertidal bar migration and storm erosion, and volumetric computations have displayed periods of beach growth. These periods generally occur between storms, during calm wind and wave conditions. The main driver for this growth is the onshore migration of intertidal bars. As bars enter the intertidal zone, they migrate onshore and grow, increasing the volume of the beach. A swash bar that formed high in the intertidal zone during neap tide was found to migrate at increased rate during the neap-spring tidal cycle and welded to the beach, as compared to a different bar which migrated during the springneap cycle. Following spring tide, the bar ceased onshore migration and an offshore expansion occurred. This offshore expansion had a great effect on the volumetric growth of the total beach profile and showcases the influence of tide in the migration of swash bars. However, due to the great number of factors that influence beach growth, only few significant correlations were found between beach volume changes and boundary conditions such as… Advisors/Committee Members: Aarninkhof, Stefan (graduation committee), Vos, Sander (mentor), de Vries, Sierd (graduation committee), Lindenbergh, Roderik (graduation committee), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

▼ The Sand Engine was constructed in 2011 with the main goal to enhance the natural dune growth. It is the first mega nourishment in the world comprising of 21.5 Mm³ of sediment. There is a large difference between the predictions of the dune growth (25 ha in 20 years) and the actual measurements (1 ha in 4 years). Therefore a more advanced method is needed to predict the dune growth due to the Sand Engine. At the Sand Engine the aeolian sediment transport is determined by the availability limiting processes, e.g. sediment sorting and hydraulic mixing, instead of the wind transporting capacity. AeoLiS is a model that calculates the aeolian sediment transport based on the availability limiting processes. From a sediment budget analysis at the Sand Engine it can be concluded that 58% of all sediments deposited in the dunes originate from the low lying beaches that are regularly reworked by waves. For this reason a model is needed that takes the interaction between both the aeolian and hydrodynamic processes into account. An Integrated Hydro- Aeolian- Morphodynamic (IHAM) model is used to combine the two processes. The main objective of this research is to verify and applicate the IHAM model applied at the Sand Engine (approx. 8 km of coastline). The IHAM model uses AeoLiS for the aeolian sediment transport, Delft3D Flexible Mesh (FM) for the subaqueous sediment transport and SWAN for the wave transformation calculation. The variables that are exchanged are the wave height calculated by SWAN, the water level calculated by FM and the bed level changes calculated by AeoLiS and FM. When an aeolian and hydrodynamic model are integrated there is a mixed area in which both models are relevant. An additional calibration is required on this mixed area. If the IHAM model applied at the Sand Engine is compared to the measurements available between 2011 - 2016 a total Brier Skill Score of 0.8 is obtained, which is judged as ‘excellent' according to the classification of Sutherland2004. Especially the tip of the peninsula and the area just north of the tip show large morphological activity that are accurately modelled by the IHAM model. However, the modelled areas south of the Sand Engine and the adjacent coastal areas show larger differences. Overall, the dune growth prediction of the IHAM model compares very well with the measured dune growth between 2012 - 2015. The measured dune growth varies between 14 - 19 m³/m/yr, while the IHAM model computes an average dune growth of 14 m³/m/yr. If the dune growth prediction of the AeoLiS standalone model is compared to the IHAM model a 3 times smaller dune growth prediction is obtained. For the IHAM model an additional transport from the mixed area towards the dunes is taken into account, due to the inclusion of waves and surge levels, which results in a much better dune growth prediction. Emphasising the need to integrate aeolian and hydrodynamic models. If the IHAM model, applied at the Sand Engine, is extended to a… Advisors/Committee Members: Aarninkhof, Stefan (graduation committee), de Vries, Sierd (mentor), Luijendijk, Arjen (mentor), van Prooijen, Bram (graduation committee), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

The beach recovery process determines the resilience of a sandy coast and is an important aspect of the coastal safety. Sediment stored underwater due to storms is transported onshore by the migration of subtidal and intertidal bars under mild wave conditions. The intertidal zone is an im-portant interface, connecting the marine and aeolian zone and facilitating the transition of hydro-dynamic to aeolian sediment transport. The aim of this study is to investigate the cross-shore mor-phodynamics of intertidal sandbars. The dominant cross-shore sediment transport processes can mainly be divided into surf zone and swash zone processes. The surf zone processes are primarily determined by the balance of wave nonlinearities, undertow and infra-gravity waves. In the swash zone, the cross-shore sediment transport is determined by the balance between the turbulent uprush and the gravity induced backwash. A recent terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) measuring campaign conducted at Kijkduin, the Nether-lands, provided new insight in the intertidal bar behavior. The results of one cross section are ana-lyzed. In a period of 6 weeks, two distinctive intertidal bars formed, grew and migrated onshore during mild wave conditions and eventually eroded again during a storm. Within 5 days, the upper intertidal bar migrated onshore over a distance of 25m and grew with a height of 0.3m, attributed to swash zone processes. Onshore sediment transport fluxes reached values of nearly 2 m3 per meter width in one tidal cycle. The findings are compared with two XBeach models (surf beat model and hydrostatic swash model) which are used to reproduce the observed morphological behavior of the upper intertidal bar. Both models partly reproduce the onshore migration but show deviating results regarding the final growth of the intertidal bar. In contrast to the surf beat model, the morphological changes in the hydrostatic swash model are primarily induced by swash zone processes, which is comparable to the processes in the TLS measurements. Finally, a conceptual model is developed in which four intertidal bar regimes are classified based on the tidal water level. The distinction determines the dominant cross-shore processes for the for-mation, migration, growth and destruction of intertidal bars. The model shows that the swash zone processes are dominant for the onshore migration and growth of intertidal bars in the overwash regime, while the surf zone processes are dominant in the submersion regime. The findings presented in this study provide a better understanding of the intertidal bar behavior. Although the XBeach models did not reproduce the observed behavior completely, there are some pronounced similarities. Further research is required to increase the knowledge of intertidal bar behavior at a variety of sandy coasts and to improve the performance of rocesses-based models like XBeach.

▼ The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is scheduled to present their solution for a storm surge barrier on Galveston Island in 2021 to congress for approval. A solution for an engineered dune system on the Galveston Island West End has been proposed, but storm surge models have shown that protection from this engineered dune only goes so far, moreover the search for a proper alternative that fulfills technical requirements and social political influences have proven to be challenging. This study aimsto assess different dune alternatives, proposed in different reports, with a range of multi disciplinary criteria. The assessment of dune alternatives will also result in guidelines that should be considered for design, maintenance and governance aspects for an engineered dune barrier on Galveston Island, TX. Using a multi disciplinary approach for the evaluation of the different dune alternatives, the following research question was formulated: To what extent do the various dune alternatives fit the requirements for a land barrier at the West End of Galveston Island, looking at both technical and sociopolitical aspects? In this context, technical requirements are defined as the storm surge-and rainfall coping capacities of the dune, i.e. against what kind of storm is the dune resistant. Social political influences are a combination of the perception by local residents that are directly influenced by the construction of a dune system, governmental forms of collaboration, and in provide an analysis of the maintainability of the dune alternatives using the storm surge capacities. The different dune alternatives that have been assessed consist of the dune system proposed by the USACE and GLO (2018), the big dune system proposed by Galvez (2019) and the hybrid dune system as proposed by Muller (2017) and will hereafter be called alternative 1, 2 and 3 respectively. In this report a fourth alternative was introduced which is based on the hybrid dune system by Muller (2017) and consists of a clay core instead of a concrete core. Alternative 4 was chosen in order to simulate the difference between a concrete core and a clay core. Based on XBeach calculations, the storm surge coping capability of each dune was determined by projecting 10 year-, 50 year- and 100 year storms onto the dune alternatives. ArcGIS maps from the Galveston Island allowed for projection of flow patterns on the island in order to determine the rainfall coping capacity. An evaluation of sociopolitical aspects was based on a review of the literature on dune systems, forms of collaboration between governmental and private entities, and interviews with various respondents consisting of private individuals and companies, as well as governmental agencies involved in the process. Analysis of the various dune alternatives, based on multi disciplinary criteria, demonstrated that alternative 1 is completely flattened in 50 year storm events, whereas alternatives 2, 3 and 4 show a good storm surge capacity. All alternatives aggravate the current rainfall… Advisors/Committee Members: Kothuis, Baukje (mentor), Bosch-Rekveldt, Marian (mentor), de Vries, Sierd (mentor), Mostert, Erik (mentor), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

The port of Rotterdam was full and new mooring locations were required to host the largest ships in the world. And if there’s no space to expand on land, why not create land in the sea? That is exactly what The Netherlands did by creating Maasvlakte 2. The construction of Maasvlakte 2 started in 2008 and was officially completed on May 22nd , 2013. This research focused on the morphodynamics in the domain between the cube reef and cobble beach at the hard flood defence, which is named "the lagoon". Over the past 5 years a large sand volume propagated into the lagoon. The current sand volume (after 5 years) in the given domain is about four times larger than the predicted value by PUMA. The processes behind the sand layer formation were not fully understood. This research started by creating a conceptual model with all processes that could contribute to the formation of the sand layer. All processes are divided into hydrodynamic or aeolian transport, whereby hydrodynamic transport is divided into overtopping over the cube reef and transport through the cube reef due to tidal currents. We performed field experiments at Maasvlakte 2 to measure the flow velocity in the lagoon and to measure the aeolian transport capacity. From a sediment budget analysis we observed a sand layer increase during winter periods. This increase is justified with the fact that sand transport towards the lagoon depends on extreme events, which happen mostly during winter periods. Based on the estimated transport volumes we concluded that the main mechanisms that contribute in the formation of the sand layer are overtopping over the cube reef and aeolian transport, whereby overtopping is the largest mechanism. Our estimates indicate a total maximum sand layer volume of 51,000m3 (whereby transport by overtopping = 25,000m3, tidal currents = 8,700m3 and aeolian transport = 17,300m3). Which leaves 20,000m3 of sand unaccounted for compared with our estimated 71,000 m3 volume of sand in the lagoon. The accuracy of each calculation is analysed in order to explain the missing volume compared with the total sand layer volume. Based on this analysis we concluded that only the uncertainty in the overtopping calculation can explain the missing volume of 20,000m3. High wind speeds and high waves will cause for sand transport towards the lagoon. Aeolian transport will always happen if there is a supply of granular material and atmospheric winds of sufficient strength. Moreover, the source for aeolian and hydrodynamic transport is the, southern located, soft protection. Since nourishments are necessary to secure the safety of the soft protection, the supply of sediment will remain. Sand is transported in northern direction along the hard protection by longshore transport. Currently, the water depth northwards of KP2700 is too deep to stir the sediment up and transport it into the lagoon by overtopping. Depending on the foreshore migration in the northern direction, the sand layer will also increase in northern direction.

The Sand Engine is a new innovation in coastal protection, a mega feeder nourishment. This pilot project was constructed in 2011 along the Delfland coast, which is historically prone to erosion. Since its construction, the Sand Engine is intensively being monitored to track the morphological development. The objective of this thesis is therefore to assess how the morphology of the Sand Engine is evolving over time and how this evolution contributes to the sediment budgets of the Delfland coast. In this thesis the first five years of morphological evolution of Sand Engine and its surroundings are investigated. A data analysis is performed on bi-monthly bathymetry measurements, covering the first five years of morphodynamic evolution of the Sand Engine and the surrounding coastal cell. The high temporal and spatial resolution in both alongshore and cross-shore direction, provided the opportunity to perform research in great detail and precision. Volume changes and sediment transports are successfully derived. Sediments are redistributed in both alongshore and cross-shore direction over the coastal cell. The accretive areas slowly extend alongshore while the erosive part of the Sand Engine remains in the same position. The Sand Engine has a positive net contribution to the sediment budget of 5.8km of coast after 5 years, which is an extension of 3.2km. 4.2Mm³ of the initially nourished volume of 17.5Mm³, has been redistributed after 5 years. A Gaussian curve is fitted to several iso-lines of constant altitude to describe the plan-form adjustment of the Sand Engine at different altitudes. The Gaussian parameters are useful in accurately describing the spatio-temporal behaviour. Yet large differences in adjustment rates are found over the altitude. The decrease in cross-shore extent is fastest around 0m+NAP, and decreases to near zero at -8m+NAP. Cross-shore profile behaviour is investigated by inspection of the temporal evolution of characteristic cross-sections in accretive and erosive locations along the Sand Engine. Erosive and accretive profiles behave considerably different. The profiles are adjusting rapidly and bed-level activity varies considerably over the altitude, with a maximum morphological activity in the intertidal zone, rapidly decreasing with increasing depth. The results show that the Sand Engine spreads alongshore and feeds the adjacent coastal sections in the five years after construction. A mega feeder nourishment is therefore capable of supplying sediments to the adjacent coast. The first year morphodynamic response was much stronger than in any subsequent year. The current results therefore give an improved view on the long-term development of the Sand Engine.

The Hondsbossche Dunes is a seven-kilometre-long dune, beach and shoreface nourishment that serves as a primary flood defence since 2015. In addition to its protective function, the Hondsbossche Dunes stimulate ecological habitat development in the coastal area, in line with Ecoshape's 'Building with Nature'-approach. Its morphologic development is monitored to simulate the morphological response to marine processes and aeolian sediment transport, and to determine the optimal profile for dune growth and nature development.The monitoring program of Ecoshape studied the volume change of the beach and the dunes. The decrease of sediment volume on the beach is not equal to the increase of sediment volume on the dunes. The hypothesis is that the remaining sediment must stem from the intertidal zone and the shoreface. The research objective of this study is to investigate the contribution of sediment supply and marine processes in the intertidal zone to changes in morphology and bed composition in the beach and dune. The results of this data analysis show that sediment is transported from the intertidal zone to the shoreface in the north and south of the Hondsbossche Dunes. This behaviour is different from the middle of the domain, where sediment is transported from the shoreface to the intertidal zone. The direction of cross-shore sediment transport between the shoreface and the intertidal zone may depend on the crest level of sandbars in the shoreface: The sandbars in the middle of the Hondsbossche Dunes break more short waves than those in the north and south, which causes 'freeing' of long waves and net landward sediment transport. The modelling study suggests that wave runup and the presence of soil moisture reduce aeolian sediment transport from the intertidal zone to the beach, because grains in the intertidal zone are immobile when they are moist. This reduction results in increased erosion at the dry part of the beach, because the wind picks up sediment from the beach instead of the intertidal zone. The soil moisture content also significantly coarsens the bed composition in the intertidal zone, because the difference in threshold for aeolian transport between fine and coarse grains becomes larger. Hydraulic mixing does not contribute to significant morphological changes in the intertidal zone, but redistributes grains on the bed of the intertidal zone toward its initial distribution by stirring up the bed of the intertidal zone. These marine processes only affect dune growth if aeolian sediment transport is supply limited, which is mainly the case for Profile 2 north and Profile 4. Aeolian sediment transport in Profile 3 south is mainly transport limited, because the dune growth volume in most simulations is equal to the dune growth capacity following the formulation of Bagnold (1941). It seems that dune growth in this profile is less affected by marine processes. These results are likely to be related to the finer bed composition and wider beach at Profile 3 south.

▼ Coastal zones all over the world have become heavily populated and developed due to the aesthetic value and diverse ecosystem services that they provide (Luijendijk et al. 2018). In recent years, however, climate change and anthropogenic pressures have exacerbated unprecedented coastal recession, threatening billions of dollars’ worth of coastal developments and infrastructure (Ranasinghe et al. 2012). In order to counteract the erosion trend and protect shoreline positions, it is necessary to carry out reliable assessments of shoreline dynamics to monitor the erosion process. Therefore, this thesis attempts to explain different spatial and temporal patterns of sandy shoreline evolution.The strict definition of shoreline is the physical land-water boundary (Boak & Turner 2005). However, considering the dynamic nature of water levels and the cross-shore and longshore sediment transport in the littoral zone, many coastal state indicators have been used as proxies to represent the ’true’ shoreline position for practical purposes (Boak & Turner 2005). The satellite derived shorelines (SDS), considered as a new type of coastal state indicator, provide a global shoreline dataset from 1984 to present. Hagenaars et al. (2017) stated that for long-time scales, similarities can be found between coastline dynamics based on the SDS positions and traditional indicators based on topographic measurements. Thus, for any coastal sandy stretch, time series of the SDS can be analyzed to get a first understanding of the coastline evolution in the period of 1984 – present.Three knowledge gaps are identified regarding using the SDS on unravelling shoreline dynamics:Does the time series of the SDS contain signatures of expected shoreline behaviour?To what extent is the limitation of the SDS important for unravelling shoreline dynamics? What is the application range of using the SDS for unravelling shoreline dynamics?The above knowledge gaps were addressed through the following steps. (1) We narrowed down the forcing types that would be focused on, including extreme storms, seasonal forcing, climate variability, land subsidence, sea level rise (SLR) and anthropogenic processes. (2) The shoreline changes at the eleven knowledge-intensive sites were focused on, each of which was selected based on the available documentation to verify if the influence of a specific forcing type could be unravelled through the SDS. The sites of interests include Narrabeen, Moruya and Pedro, Perranporth, Ocean Shores (CRLC), the Nile Delta, Perth, Ocean Beach, Fire Island, Gatseau sandspit and Cap Ferret sandspit (SW France), the Gulf of Valencia and Wrightsville Beach. (3) We decomposed the time series of the SDS with a range of data analysis methods, in order to extract spatiotemporal patterns of shoreline variation and correlate the variation patterns to forcing types at the eleven sites. (4) Three indices were calculated to classify rotational/non-rotational and seasonal/non-seasonal beaches based on the analysis results of the SDS.

▼ The Bollen van de Ooster, in this report referred to as the Ooster, is a sand bar in the outer delta of the Grevelingen. The Ooster is separated from the coast by a relatively deep channel, called the Schaar. Closure of the Grevelingen in 1971, with the construction of the Brouwersdam, initiated vast changes in morphology. Damming of the estuary mainly affected the tide-induced flow patterns and therefore the relative influence of the waves at the outer delta. In this study the main focus is on the morphological development near the coastline of Goeree-Overflakkee. During the past years an erosion trend of locally up to 27 m/year, just south of the Flaauwe Werk, led to concerns with Rijkswaterstaat. This erosion is caused by the migration of the Ooster along the coast. Out of precaution a beach nourishment has been planned in this area due to the potential danger for the Flaauwe Werk. However, uncertainty about the future morphological development and therefore the necessity to take measures remains. The aim of this study is to provide a better understanding in the changes that have occurred, bring more certainty about the future and therefore contribute to informed decision-making. The coast of Goeree-Overflakkee has had a long history of coastline erosion. Closure of the Grevelingen estuary led to an increase of this erosion trend at the Westhoofd due to a combination of increased tide-induced flow velocities and morphological development of the Ooster. The latter was characterised by an eastward migration which forced the Schaar into the coastline. This process initiated multiple nourishments in the period 1969-1985. The attachment of one of the shoals of the Ooster resolved this problem, resulting in a large accumulation of sediments on the beach. In the years thereafter these sediments have been eroded as the Ooster migrated along the coast and transported further north. The latter resulted in beach widening along the coast of Goeree-Overflakkee. Due to the rapid elongation of the Ooster the erosion problems of the 80’s returned. The Schaar shows a continuous decrease in depth and flow surface since 2003, according to data analysis. Model results show that the channel mainly plays a role during low tide when the Ooster is emerged. Significant tide-induced flow velocities occur in the channel. In general, the decreasing channel dimensions lead to an increase of the magnitude of the flow in the channel. However, this occurs for a limited time duration during the full tidal cycle. A striking observation is the small influence of the wave angle on the wave-induced flow velocities near the channel. Waves coming from the north are refracted considerably due to the extension of the Haringvliet outer delta. The result is a large net longshore sediment transport rate at the seaward side of the Ooster. This could explain the pace of the migration in eastern direction. Moreover these sediments are a source for the channel, contributing to decreasing the channel dimensions. In general the presence of wind decrease the… Advisors/Committee Members: Aarninkhof, Stefan (mentor), de Vries, Sierd (graduation committee), Colina Alonso, Ana (graduation committee), Abraimi, Rachid (graduation committee), Tonnon, Pieter Koen (graduation committee), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

▼ <p class="MsoNormal">Due to climate change and sea level risethe coastal zones are getting exposed to increasing risks like coastalrecession, putting in risk human lives and coastal infrastructure being worthbillions of dollars. Low lying countries like the Netherlands are consideredmore vulnerable to the effects of sea level rise. Large parts of the Dutchcoast have been eroding for centuries and nourishments schemes of approximately12 million m³ have been implemented annually in order to maintainthe coastline as it was in 1990. However, the future dune erosion will further increasedue to the impacts of climate change and hence the adaptation strategies shouldbe in line with the accelerated sea level rise and the possible effects thatmay bring. The most commonly used method to assess sealevel rise impacts on shorelines is the Bruun rule. However,Bruun rule’s deterministic nature cannot align with the risk-based framework thatcoastal zone management requires nowadays. This necessity initiated thedevelopment of a process-based model, the Probabilistic Coastline Recession(PCR) model, estimating the future coastal recessions in a probabilisticapproach. In this research, the PCR framework wasapplied at eleven locations along the Holland coast, in the Netherlands, underthree different SLR scenarios, the RCP4.5, RCP8.5 and Deltascenario. The availabilityof coastal profile data (from 1965 until now) and coastline position data (from1843 till 1980) made the Holland coast an ideal location to explore and extendthe applicability of the PCR framework. The most relevant assumptions for thiscoast were identified and explored. The recovery rate of the dune was a weakpoint of the PCR model and Holland coast was an interesting area to be tested.Three approaches of calibrating the natural recovery rate of the dunes werefollowed. In addition, the alongshore sediment transport which was assumednegligible to the previous case studies, in this work it was integrated intothe PCR model and pointed out that its contribution is important to the PCR. For the eleven selected coastal profiles,20,000 simulations of 81 years (2020-2100) have been conducted and for everysimulation the most landward position of the coastline in every calendar yearhas been recorded. Hence, an empirical distribution of coastline recession forevery future year has been constructed. The ranges of the expected retreats in2100 (relative to 2020) for the different SLR scenarios are:0.5 m-155 m (for RCP4.5), 6 m-194 m (for RCP8.5) and18 m-172 m (for Deltascenario), corresponding to the 50 %exceedance probability values of the cumulative distribution function of thecoastline retreat. The average values of the coastal retreat for 2100 are 61 m,73 m and 97 m for RCP4.5, RCP 8.5, and Deltascenario respectively.The relevant average erosion volume by 2100 are 1664 m³/m,2005 m³/m and 2665 m³/m.

Sandy beaches comprise large parts of the world's shorelines and act as a natural buffer for many exposed people and assets that are concentrated in the coastal zone. Many coastal communities are vulnerable to the impact of sea-level rise (SLR) that can amplify the episodic erosion from storms and drive structural erosion. The way communities adapt to SLR hinge critically on future SLR projections. One of the major uncertainties is the potential rapid disintegration of large fractions of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) that can accelerate sea-level rise, albeit neglected in the latest SLR estimates of the 'Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'. Accounting for rapid AIS mass loss in coastal impact assessments is essential for risk-averse coastal managers that disfavour events with large consequences. Although methods to predict future erosion estimates under SLR have been developed, hitherto no study has assessed the impact of different cases of AIS dynamics to erosion estimates. Here, a case-study to the island of Sint Maarten is considered to evaluate the implications for strategies to manage coastal erosion under SLR uncertainty. Regional SLR projections are made for a case consistent with the IPCC, a case with a skewed probability distribution function of the AIS dynamics and a high-end scenario of Antarctic mass loss. SLR projections are incorporated within a probabilistic erosion framework using synthetic storm time series for two beaches on the island. Future retreat distances from storms and long term coastal recession are calculated, and the different scenarios are compared and contrasted. For a future 1/100 year retreat distance of storm erosion, often used for zoning policies, estimates may be exceeded up to 1.11-2.22 times as frequent for inclusion of skewness, and 2.22-67 times as frequent for the high-end scenario compared to the IPCC case. These numbers further increase when additional climate model uncertainty is introduced. In terms of long-term recession, the 1% exceedance probability in 2100 for the IPCC case has a 2-4.5% exceedance probability for a skewed distribution function and a 37-88% exceedance probability under a high-end scenario of the AIS. Lower exceedance probabilities, essential for risk-averse coastal managers, are underestimated relatively more leading to potential disillusion about the safety level that is set. In conclusion, precluding AIS uncertainty from SLR projections that feed coastal impact assessments may lead to ill-informed decisions on SLR adaptation. Risk-averse coastal managers should thus be better informed on deep uncertainty in SLR projections to prevent maladaptation of vulnerable areas.

▼ Nourishments are considered to be a popular soft measure against coastal erosion. In the Netherlands, the concept of a localized mega nourishment has been introduced as an innovative approach, aiming to counteract the anticipated enhanced coastal erosion. The positive results of the Sand Engine implementation lead the way for applying the mega nourishment concept as an innovative solution in many retreating coastlines around the world. In central Vietnam, Cua Dai beach experiences ongoing erosion that propagates to the north over the years which significantly undermines the existence of the coast. The complexity of the prevailing climate as well as the various human interventions that have taken place, complicate the understanding of the system and the determination of a long term solution to the problem of erosion. The present research investigates the concept of mega nourishment as a measure against the problem of erosion in the Cua Dai beach. A consistent approach has been followed for this purpose, addressed through several research steps. Initially, an overview of the recorded morphological evolution and of the relevant processes has been created as well as an assessment of the stakeholder relations in the area, through available literature. Then, the prevailing dynamics of the overall region that includes Cua Dai beach have been analyzed with the use of representative conditions of the influencing forcing mechanisms, based on characteristic past morphological periods. Extreme flood and storm events have been also investigated. For this purpose numerical modeling simulations with Delft3D have been performed. A design approach has been selected and the primary and secondary design parameters have been determined, formulating the final design solutions. Assessment of the design solutions has been realized, in terms of a qualitative analysis but also an assessment of their seasonal behaviour. For the latter part, numerical modelling simulations have been also made. An erosive trend has been identified in the north coastline where Cua Dai beach is located that has been present before any interventions in the coast took place. In addition, the trend of formation of an ebb tidal bar has been highlighted as well as its interaction with the north coast. The presence of resorts along Cua Dai beach was found to enhance the erosive pattern. The placement of sandbags across the public Cua Dai beach strengthened further the erosion. The extreme flood and storm events do not alter the erosive trend of the north coast that is present under regular seasonal conditions, but can explain the enhancement of the inspected morphological trends. The selected design approach that concerns the inclusion of the influencing stakeholders in the financing of the nourishment design solutions, led to the formation of three design alternatives that follow the mega nourishment concept. The required volume, the design lifetime, the location and the shape of the designs formed the main design parameters.

Shoreline change is affected by a multitude of complex processes operating at various spatiotemporal scales. Comprehensive multi-year simulations of shoreline changes and forecasts are feasible with process-based models. However, these detailed and computationally expensive numerical simulations do not always lead to increased predictive skill in comparison to simpler shoreline models (Davidson et al., 2013). ShoreFor (Davidson et al., 2013) employs the concept of (dis-) equilibrium of shoreline location following Wright and Short (1985). In this research, the current ShoreFor model (Splinter et al., 2014) is used as baseline. ShoreFor seeks for an optimum decay factor that best describes the morphological response of a coastal system to the corresponding hydrodynamic forcing. This parameter is measured in days and effectively controls the shoreline response timescale. Currently, the ShoreFor model provides a single value for φ, representing a single dominant shoreline response timescale. As morphological systems can contain multiple dominant timescale responses, a new approach to multi-timescale shoreline change modelling is proposed. Three video-derived datasets are used to improve the model towards a generally applicable one which incorporates multiple temporal scales: Narrabeen (Australia), Nha Trang (Vietnam) and Grand Popo (Benin). Each dataset has different hydrodynamic- and morphological characteristics. The storm timescale is a dominant mode of shoreline response for Narrabeen, whereas for Nha Trang and Grand Popo the seasonal timescale is the most dominant. Furthermore, all sites are subjected to more modes of shoreline response such that the application of a single memory decay factor will hamper shoreline modelling. The existing model is improved using 3 steps.In the first step, the raw wave- and shoreline signals are filtered to distinguish temporal scales. Then filtered temporal scales in shoreline position are forced with the corresponding scales in the wave signals. For each temporal scale, a distinct memory decay factor φ is found. In the second step, the effect of small temporal scales in wave forcing on larger temporal scales in shoreline position is accounted for. The improved model takes this effect into account using the envelope of the filtered wave signals. The envelope is used to force the model and to calculate shoreline change with the same timescale. In the third and final step, the effect of large temporal scales in shoreline position on smaller scales in shoreline response is accounted for. The efficiency with which waves induce cross-shore sediment transport can be dependent on the large scale shoreline variation. A time varying response factor c is introduced that controls the efficiency with which waves induce cross-shore sediment transport. The dynamic response factor varies over time with the shape of the larger scale shoreline signal: it represents the effect of the large scale shoreline variation on the smaller scale shoreline response.

▼ Crescentic sandbars are a commonly observed nearshore feature in coastal zones that strongly influence the surfzone circulations and are connected with the occurrence of rip currents. Furthermore, their spatial characteristics have been associated with the shoreline position in the form of shoreline perturbations, indicating morphological coupling between them and in turn affecting the beach width. As changes in the beach width affect coastal infrastructure and user functions such as recreation, understanding the bar dynamics is crucial for coastal zone management. The present work intends to improve this understanding by means of a case study at Anmok beach located at the South Korean East coast. Data analysis is used to estimate the long-term changes of the sandbar characteristics in time, under the influence of the ambient environmental conditions and human interventions. Additionally, this study investigates how to account for these features in modelling frameworks. Available in-situ bathymetric surveys and high resolution aerial photographs are complemented with freely available satellite images in order to extract an estimate of the horizontal position of the sandbar crest line at Anmok beach. The introduction of satellite imagery observations dramatically increases both temporal coverage and frequency of the dataset resulting in 27 years of bar observations. The sandbar characteristics are found to change mainly in response to high wave energy events, while the initial sandbar position seems to be an important factor e.g. the closer the sandbar to the shore the more prone to changes it is. Furthermore, the results indicate that the alongshore migration of the sandbar features and the alongshore component of the wave energy flux show an agreement between their long-term (5-10 years) trends. This highlights the potential of the alongshore wave generated current to migrate the sandbar patterns in the alongshore direction. Moreover, the magnitude of the crescentic length and amplitude in an area 600-700m away from the port decreased after its construction. The use of coastline models that assume alongshore uniform bathymetry can be questioned in cases of pronounced alongshore morphological variability. To this end, the impact of the alongshore variability of the sandbar on net annual sediment transports is investigated with the process based morel Delft3D for a selection of schematized bathymetries, created based on the natural variability of the sandbar at Anmok. It appears that for the symmetrical shaped crescentic sandbars, which are mostly present at Anmok beach, the influence of the alongshore variability on the net sediment transports is not large (~10%). The shoreline response to different sandbar configurations is investigated by computing alongshore incoming and outgoing sand volumes in cells specified close to the shoreline. It is found that the cross-shore distance between the sandbar and the shoreline is critical for the intensity of the erosion and accretion patterns formed at the coastline.… Advisors/Committee Members: Reniers, Ad (mentor), Ranasinghe, R.

▼ The Dutch coast is affected by coastal erosion. In order to limit erosion and prevent inland migration of dunes, sand nourishments have been adopted as a common practice for the maintenance of the coast. The evaluation of the applied coastal erosion policy is achieved by the use of coastal indicators. Increased number of nourishments affects the coastal profiles and coastal indicators are used to describe those changes along the coastal zone. The present work intends to improve the definition of one of the indicators (dune foot position) by proposing a new methodology and to develop a Bayesian network in order to assess the effectiveness of nourishments on the coastal system. Coastal indicators, such as the Momentary Coastline and the dune foot position, are used in the Bayesian network in order to quantify those effects. Available field measurements of the entire Dutch coastline (JARKUS morphometric database) are used in order to develop the methodology of the dune foot position detection. Taking into account the geometry of the profiles, the dune foot position can be detected by calculating the first and second derivatives of the measured points along the profiles. Comparison with visual, in-situ observations, constitute the validation method of the proposed methodology. Root mean square errors, with respect to visual observations, are used to compare the performance of two methods for the dune foot position detection; the proposed methodology and the current dune foot definition, which detects the dune foot at the most seaward crossing of the profile with the level of +3 m NAP. By looking at the performance of the methodologies at different areas, the results are diverse. However, the proposed methodology shows a general improvement of the detection. Moreover, the methodology is believed to be generic and applicable to other dune systems around the world, since it is purely based on the morphology of the profile. A Bayesian modelling approach is used to assess the effectiveness of nourishments on coastal indicators for the Holland coast. The selection of the input and output parameters, the design of the network and the optimization of the structure are the main steps for the development of the model. Once the optimum configuration is chosen and the model is trained, the Bayesian network gives the possibility to investigate the relations between variables, by constraining the input nodes on a specific range of values and assessing changes on the indicators. By applying those constraints it can be found that nourishments have positive effects on the coastal indicators, since larger seaward displacement is observed compared to cases in which no nourishment has been implemented. Moreover, initial erosive trends of the dune foot position are constrained by the implementation of nourishments. In addition, the effects of nourishments at different time scales are investigated. To this end, time horizons of 1, 5 and 10 years after a nourishment implementation are chosen.

▼ This thesis explores the nature of coastal dune behavior and the role of sediment supply in the aeolian system. The first part of the thesis conducts a data analysis based on the Dutch JARKUS dataset, which provides yearly measured profiles along the Dutch coast. A series of parameters derived from the profile measurements have been used to represent the dune behavior quantitatively. Two locations with different coastal orientations, the Rijnland and Ameland coasts, have been studied. The theoretical wind transport capacity calculated for the two coasts showed very different results, where the transport capacity in cross shore direction for Ameland was found offshore dominant with very small onshore component while the one for Rijnland was found onshore dominant with much larger onshore component. The calculated actual dune growth rates along the two coasts had much less values than the transport capacity but demonstrated similar trend: Rijnland experienced more dune accretion than Ameland. The spatial variations in coastal morphology derived from the measurements have been correlated to the alongshore varying dune behavior, showing that a larger dune accretion is usually linked to a wider active dune but no obvious relationship can be identified between beach width and dune growth rate. The second part of the thesis discusses a modeling study using the AeoLiS model. The inconsistency between the actual dune accretion and the theoretical onshore wind transport capacity was probably because the sediment availability dominated the aeolian sediment transport, which inspired an attempt to analyze the role of sediment supply in the aeolian system through a modeling study. Therefore AeoLiS has been used to simulate aeolian sediment transport, dune volume changes and the combined effect of erosion and accretion processes in the coastal systems. In the modeling study, 11 scenarios have been simulated. By comparing the simulation results of the different scenarios, the influences of several different processes on the aeolian sediment transport have been analyzed. Dune vegetation was found to be necessary to acquire dune accretion. Sediment sorting and beach armoring were found to be able to significantly reduce the aeolian sediment transport, indicating the important role of sediment supply in the aeolian system. And the more the nonerodible roughness elements existed on the bed, the more the aeolian transport could be reduced. In the onshore wind dominant system, the existence of the offshore wind reduced the onshore aeolian transport in the model. In the offshore wind dominant system, the offshore wind needed to be filtered out to enable the model to reproduce the pattern of onshore aeolian transport and dune accretion. For Rijnland which experienced mainly onshore winds, the modeled dune accretion volume was relatively larger than the measured dune accretion based on the data analysis. For Ameland where the present winds were mainly offshore, the simulated and measured dune accretion volumes were quite close.

▼ Seaports are important maritime commercial facilities and key hubs for national and global trades. There is a growing need for seaborne transport and, hence, seaport facilities, especially in emerging economies due to economic and population growth, such as in Africa. In sedimentary environments, port construction may induce coastal impacts regarding up-drift accretion and down-drift erosion. These coastal impacts potentially increase risks such as harbour siltation and coastal area erosion. To mitigate or even avoid these risks in the pre-construction stage, coastline evolution around ports needs to be well-understood. Analysis of long-term shoreline position data around existing ports can provide this understanding. However, long-term in-situ shoreline position data around ports are often unavailable or inaccessible, especially in emerging economies which are often data poor. Nevertheless, nowadays a growing database of satellite images provides these data on a global scale for the last decades. Furthermore, the launch of Google Earth Engine cloud computing platform in 2016 enabled accessibility and efficient processing of these satellite images. This development allows building an evidence database for shoreline positions around African seaports. With this database, coastline evolution trends around all ports can be analysed, inter-compared and related to environmental and port characteristics to derive lessons for future port development. According to the World Port Index, 165 African seaports (after excluding river ports, offshore platforms and anchorages from 266 African ports) are identified. Only 125 ports at sandy coastlines, where SDS detection has been validated, are focused in this research. The results from this study show that coastline evolution, especially coastal area erosion, around the majority of African seaports is limited by the narrow sandy beach and rocky substratum of Afro-trailing coasts. However, there are still some ports at sediment-rich coasts having dramatic erosion and/or siltation hazards. After analysing common characteristics of these high-hazard ports, lessons are learnt for port development. Regarding site selection and breakwater design, ports with massive river sediment supply and/or ports at open coasts have larger negative coastal impacts. For coasts with river sediment supply, it is better to construct ports at the up-drift side of the river mouth to avoid interruption of river supplied sediment transport, which is found helpful for ports around West Mediterranean Sea. Shoreline management plan should be coupled with methods to maintain or increase river sediment supply, which can be learnt from shoreline retreating around ports in West Africa. Furthermore, to reduce coastal impacts around ports, port breakwaters at open coasts should be carefully designed regarding length and orientation to achieve a smaller shore-normal projected length, especially when the gross longshore wave power is massive.

'De Slufter' is a nature conservation area located in the Northwest of the Dutch Wadden island Texel which is inundated with seawater during storm events. The landward side of De Slufter is a sand dike which is part of the primary coastal defence ring of the island. HHNK, which is responsible for the coastal safety of Texel, currently relocates the dynamic gully in the slufter mouth every time it reaches one of the dune heads (every 5-6 years approximately) because uncontrolled gully migration might widen the slufter mouth. This could lead to more wave attack on the sand dike, possibly affectingthe coastal safety of Texel. Still, HHNK is planning on ceasing the relocations of the gully. The goal of this thesis is to assess the effects on the present and future coastal safety of De Slufter. First, based on a field data analysis of annual topography and bathymetry measurements it is expected that the gully migration is governed by wave-induced longshore transport, curvature-induced secondary flow due to tidal forcing, overwash from the beach flat into the gully during storms and by the distance to the dune heads (which inhibits migration) To investigate the effect of ceasing relocations of the gully on present and future coastal safety a modelling study was performed with XBeach Surfbeat. 15 scenarios were created to assess the effects of different bathymetry and of sea level and bed level rise Failure was assessed on two failure mechanisms: 'Grensprofiel', which consists of two aspects. A minimum sand dike volume above storm surge level must be available in every transect alongshore in the sand dike. Also, each post-storm sand dike transect must be large enough to contain a legally defined 'limit profile'. The second mechanism is 'Initiation of flooding', which means that failure occurs when at any point landward of the 'Waterstaatswerk' boundary (the outer border of the primary coastal defence) a depth of at least 20 cm is observed. In all present scenarios no failure occurs for a normative 1/3000 year storm. De Slufter is therefore considered 'safe'. Maximum wave heights did not increase significantly for different bathymetry configurations due to the large amount of dissipation occurring in the slufter valley. No overwash or overtopping occurred in any of the modelled scenarios and morphological impact on the sand dike itself was relatively low. Failure does occur for the 1/3000 year storm with a sea level rise of 1.95 m and 3.17 m. Failure does not occur in the middle of the sand dike where the majority of the wave attack happens but in the southwestern and northeastern parts due to inundation over the ridge there (‘Initiation of flooding’). It is expected that the 'tipping point' of De Slufter, which is the sea level rise magnitude beyond which De Slufter does not adhere to safety standards, is at a sea level rise magnitude of 1.70 m.

▼ Phenomena like sea level rise, global warming and erosion together contribute to increasing flood risk in vulnerable coastal areas. As this flood risk increases, initiatives to mitigate the effects of climate change in the coastal zone are also increasingly sought. During recent years, the view that these measures should be circular has gained significant momentum. In line with this, the idea that sediment should not be treated as waste, but as a valuable product in a circular economy has been widely accepted. Within this theme, the sediment uses as resources in circular and in territorial economies (SURICATES) was created to develop and execute eco-innovative solutions for the reuse of sediments in Western Europe. As a part of SURICATES, over the course of a nine week pilot, a total of 500 tonnes of sediment was reallocated in a designated area in the Rotterdam Waterway, with the expectation that this sediment would be transported out of the Rhine-Meuse estuary into the North Sea. The SURICATES project is one of the first real large-scale efforts to reuse sediment for economic as well as ecosystem services. Effective implementation of the SURICATES project, however, requires a thorough understanding of the governing physical processes impacting the distribution of the deposited sediment locally. Furthermore, to assess the feasibility of similar future applications, efficient modelling of the pilot project is necessary. The work presented here aims to elucidate the hydrodynamic processes that are governing in the Rotterdam Waterway, within the framework of the SURICATES pilot project, and assess the reproducibility of these processes by (two) predictive models that are currently operational at the Port of Rotterdam. A special 6-hour monitoring survey was set up to measure salinities, velocities, temperature, and suspended particulate matter (SPM) along a transect crossing the reallocation location. In combination with a literature review, this dataset provides the basis for research into the predictive capabilities of two currently operational hydrodynamic models. Analysis of this dataset reveals the dominant terms in the momentum balance, the influence of Coriolis, the occurrence of internal waves, and the effect that all these mechanisms may have on the SPM distribution around the reallocation location. When the system dynamics are elucidated, the model performance of the two hydrodynamic models is assessed—both quantitatively and qualitatively. It is also investigated whether phase shifts are introduced in the models. It is found that the primary hydrodynamic processes in the Rotterdam Waterway are related to the barotropic tidal asymmetry imposed at the river mouth, the tidal excursion of the salt wedge, baroclinic exchange flow processes, and turbulence damping at the pycnocline. Turbulence damping at the pycnocline generally poses an upper limit to the (re)distribution of SPM over the water column, although field data suggests that this damping may not be sufficient to counteract diffusion processes locally.… Advisors/Committee Members: Pietrzak, Julie (mentor), Kirichek, Alex (graduation committee), Hulsen, Lambèr (mentor), Chassagne, Claire (graduation committee), de Vries, Sierd (graduation committee), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

▼ Sea Level Rise is anticipated to significantly affect human development in the coastal zone by the end of the Twenty-First Century. The rising waters bring greater risk of floods, submergence of low lying land, salinization of freshwater supplies, and the erosion of sandy beaches. Quantifying these impacts spurns action by those hoping to adapt to changing environmental conditions, but sea level rise acts at such large scales that this quantification proves difficult. Dynamic Interactive Vulnerability Analysis (DIVA) provides this capacity by modelling the growth of society parallel to environmental forcing from IPCC scenarios and human adaptation measures in the coastal zone. This thesis attempts to use new information and technology to expand existing tools which quantify the impacts of beach erosion due to sea level rise and human adaptation using beach nourishment on a global scale. This echoes earlier work by (Hinkel et al., 2013). To accomplish this task, a methodology is developed to conduct and aggregate large amounts of information into the DIVA coastal database, and a secondary global risk model develops refined nourishment adaptation cost information. Data collection over the large scales covered by the DIVA model is difficult, and existing approximations within the model are categorically applied to poorly resolved datasets and archived information. Recent developments in remote sensing created a new database which indicates the location of beaches at a global scale. The utility of this information is the primary motivation for this study. Similarly, adaptation costs in DIVA are not well resolved, and available expert judgment is leveraged to allow more insight into these practices. These modifications have complex individual interactions with human coastal development, and simple superposition is not an effective tool to predict their combined impact. The locations most significantly impacted by the modifications are typically island states previously categorized without beaches. Adaptation favors wealthy locations with a large population density. The costs of lost land and forced migration in these areas outweigh adaptation costs by substantial margins in some cases, and nourishment . Recreation of the Hinkel et al. study is not possible with the current DIVA architecture, and the lack of reasoned relation to this work limits interpretation. As a large scale model using aggregated parameters, DIVA is limited by its ignorance of local-level processes. Further limitations include a lack of resolved information for secondary erosive forcing from tidal basins, whose impacts are included, yet not specifically addressed. DIVA does address the question of vulnerability at a national level, and can inform decision makers on the costs and protections provided through adaptation. It can highlight the growth and development of adaptation measures in response to sea level rise and weigh them against the cost of inaction. In doing so, DIVA highlights areas where pretection is economically feasible… Advisors/Committee Members: Aarninkhof, Stefan (graduation committee), de Vries, Sierd (graduation committee), Nicholls, R.J.
