The objective of the Sandpit project is to develop reliable prediction techniques and guidelines to better understand, simulate and predict the morphological behavior of large-scale sand mining pits and the associated sand transport processes at the middle and lower (offshore) shoreface and also surrounding coastal zone. read more

The purpose of the Coast3D project is to improve understanding of the physics of coastal sand transport and morphodynamics, to remedy the present lack of validation data of sand transport and morphology suitable for testing numerical models of coastal processes, to test a representative sample of numerical models for predicting coastal sand transport and morphodynamics against this data, to deliver validated modelling tools, and methodologies for their use, in a form suitable for coastal zone management, to deliver a set of guidelines for practical coastal zone management. read more

CoastView focuses on the physical problems associated with sedimentary coasts. This project aims to simplify the task of the coastal manager who needs to know when a valuable component of the coast is at risk, which processes are responsible, and consequently what appropriate form of intervention (if any) is required in order to sustain or improve the resource. read more

Study of the estuarine and sediment dynamics in the downstream branch of the Ba Lat river, Vietnam, and adjacent delta system. read more

Within this project, the dynamics of suspended sediment in a highly turbid coral reef environment in West Java, Indonesia, are analyzed. The project comes under the umbrella of the Teluk Banten Research Program, which is part of the Global Change Program of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences (KNAW). The programme aims at the establishment of a scientifically based coastal zone management system for the Bay of Banten, West Java. read more
