The Dutch Foredunes: Inventory and Classification
Aeolian transport of sand onto the foredunes is of importance with respect to the sediment budget of the coastal system. A classification of foredune types has been made, based on development, management and aeolian activity, using aerial photographs and a morphometric database. This classification provides insight into the occurrence and extent of natural processes in the foredunes, and will serve as a tool for calculation of a sediment budget. In only a few places along the Dutch coast, the foredunes are formed completely by natural processes: the majority are to some extent influenced by ma... Mehr ...
