To improve the knowledge of sand transport as a function of wave, current and sediment conditions, an innovative field measurement system for coastal waters the HSM Tripod (Hydrodynamics, Sand Transport and Micro-morphology), was developed which can be used to determine the depth-integrated sand transport rate. read more
Equipment
In order to satisfy the instrumentation needs of the Coastal Research Group, the Laboratory of Physical Geography designs and builds state-of-the-art instrumentation. Other pieces of equipment are developed and applied in close cooperation with the RIKZ.
