Dynamics and sedimentary developments of the Dutch Wadden Sea with a special emphasis on the Frisian Inlet : a study of the barrier islands, ebb-tidal deltas, inlets and drainage basins

The Wadden Sea, along the coasts of The Netherlands, Germany and Denmark, forms one of the major nature reserves in western Europe and one of the major intertidal areas on Earth. Numerous observations are available from this highly dynamical area, collected over the many centuries that Man has been wrestling with the sea. The growing concern about the fate of the Dutch coast in the next century, when an increase of the rate of sea-level rise is expected, has recently triggered extensive interdisciplinary research on coastal dynamics. This offered the opportunity to study in detail the dynamics... Mehr ...
