Transitional polders along estuaries: Driving land-level rise and reducing flood propagation

Autor: Weisscher, Steven, Baar, Anne, Van Belzen, Jim, Bouma, Tjeerd, Kleinhans, Maarten

Dikes are the conventional means of flood defence along rivers and estuaries. However, dikes gradually lead to the superelevation of waterbodies compared to the subsiding embanked areas, resulting in a rapidly increasing unstable situation under sea-

Building and raising land: meandering rivers and filling estuaries

Autor: Weisscher, Steven Alexander Hubertus

Estuaries form in drowned landscapes where rivers transition into the sea and come in a broad range of shapes and sizes. Previous efforts to categorise these tidal systems used the relative importance of rivers, waves and tides. However, this left di

Many Holocene estuaries were infilled to form convergent, single-channel systems, while others remained partially or wholly unfilled. This difference in the degree of infilling depends partly on the balance between fluvial and coastal sediment input

Sediment is sorted in river bends under the influence of gravity that pulls the heavier grains downslope and secondary flow that drags the finer grains upslope. Furthermore, when dunes are present, sediment is also sorted vertically at the dune lee s

Upstream perturbation and floodplain formation effects on chute-cutoff-dominated meandering river pattern and dynamics

Autor: Weisscher, Steven A.H., Shimizu, Yasuyuki, Kleinhans, Maarten G.

A sustained dynamic inflow perturbation and bar–floodplain conversion are considered crucial to dynamic meandering. Past experiments, one-dimensional modelling and linear theory have demonstrated that the initiation and persistence of dynamic meand
