River delta degradation has been caused by extraction of natural resources, sediment
retention by reservoirs, and sea-level rise. Despite global concerns about these issues …

Morphodynamic equilibrium is a widely adopted yet elusive concept in the field of
geomorphology of coasts, rivers and estuaries. Based on the Exner equation, an expression …

Salt marshes are dynamic systems able to laterally expand, contract, and vertically accrete
in response to sea level rise. Here, we present the grand challenges that need to be …

The Wadden Sea is a unique coastal wetland containing an uninterrupted stretch of tidal
flats that span a distance of nearly 500km along the North Sea coast from the Netherlands to …

This paper presents IH-LANSloc (IH-Long-term Anthropized coastlines Simulation tool for
local-scale studies), a numerical model that solves shoreline and nearshore evolution at …

Abstract The Wadden Sea is a unique intertidal wetland area, forming an important hub for
migratory water birds. A feared effect of accelerated sea-level rise (SLR) is the gradual loss …

Worldwide, many tidal basins associated with barrier coasts have infilled over the past
millennia due to the combination of sediment supply, wave‐tidal sediment transport, and eco …

Managed realignment (MR) constitutes a form of nature-based adaptation to coastal
hazards, including sea level rise and storm surges. The implementation of MR aims at the …

Barrier islands are low-lying coastal landforms vulnerable to inundation and erosion by sea
level rise. Despite their socioeconomic and ecological importance, their future …

Climate change, and especially the associated acceleration of sea-level rise, forms a
serious threat to the Wadden Sea. The Wadden Sea contains the world's largest coherent …
