Flood risks are increasing worldwide due to climate change and ongoing economic and
demographic development in coastal areas. Salt marshes can function as vegetated …

Practitioners often employ diverse, though not always thoroughly validated, numerical
models to directly or indirectly estimate wave overtopping (q) at sloping structures. These …

In this paper the safety of a double-dike system (or twin dikes) is assessed. Such a system
consist of two parallel lines of flood defences. During storms the combined strength of the …

Harbour resonance and its contribution to wave overtopping are examined for a small
irregular-shaped harbour in the eastern Mediterranean. Offshore wave measurements are …

The aim of this work is to present a non-contact video-based method for respiratory rhythm
extraction. The method makes use of a consumer-grade RGB camera, and it is based on …

Many coastlines around the world are protected by dikes with shallow foreshores (eg salt
marshes and mudflats) that attenuate storm waves and are expected to reduce the likelihood …

Projected climate change driven variations in mean sea level (ie, sea level rise), wave
conditions, storm surge, and river flow will affect the coastal zone in many ways. The coastal …

Understanding changes in wave attenuation by emergent vegetation as wetlands degrade
or accrete over time is crucial for incorporation of wetlands into holistic coastal risk …

Many regions face an increasing flood risk as a result of sea-level rise, climate change, and
a growing population in flood prone deltas. Flood protection infrastructure like dikes, levees …

This dissertation focuses on the Eems-Dollard estuary in the north of the Netherlands and
contributes to the MVED ('Meerjarige Veldmetingen Eems-Dollard') field measurement …
