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 objective of this project is to understand the short- to long-term behavior of bar and rip patterns on the beach. This is done by monthly surveying the beach morphology, describing and doing morphometric analysis of the intertidal bar morphology using the ARGUS video images of Noordwijk and Egmond aan Zee in the Netherlands. 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

The WESP is a large multi-purpose vehicle constructed to aid in the research of the Dutch coastal area. It can operate from the beach and drive into the sea upto waterdepths of 8 meters (app. 26 ft). read more

The wave and current flume of the laboratory for physical geography is a flume for studying waves and currents in a controlled environment.
