Restoration engineering measures, such as managed realignments or building groins, modify the environmental characteristics of coastal intertidal ecosystems. Creating physical modifications that are beneficial to an intertidal system's ecology necessitates an in-depth understanding of the relationships …

Sand nourishments are crucial to counteract coastal erosion and preserve a variety of coastal functions, including beach recreation and tourism. In the coming decades, an increase in the scale of sand nourishment operations is needed to adapt to sea level rise. This could induce changes to the current …

Managed realignment is the landward relocation of flood infrastructure to re-establish tidal exchange on formerly reclaimed land. Managed realignment can be seen as a nature-based flood defence system that combines flood protection by the realigned dike (artificial) and restored saltmarshes (nature-based). …

In the following thesis, research is conducted on the effect of sea-level rise and expected hydraulic load levels for the Scheldt Estuary, currently and in the future. As climate changes advances and the sea-level rises, insight into the effects of the rise on our coastal area's is essential. Rijkswaterstaat …
