Dune erosion under climate change

This PhD-thesis investigated the effect of future climate change on dune erosion in the Netherlands. At present, dune erosion occurs under a combination of large storm surge and high waves, which are both generated by a storm event. Therefore to investigate the affect of future climate change on dune erosion requires an analysis of various aspects of the offshore hydrodynamical condition, specially on the affect of future projected changes in wave, wind and sea level rise After the 1953 storm surge disaster, which resulted in widespread flooding in the Netherlands, Belgium and the United Kingd...
