In the mesotidal (tidal range 3·5–4·9 m) Westerschelde estuary (The Netherlands) the
intertidal part of a sandbank was the subject of systematic observations of: (1) hydrographic …

The understanding and prediction of coastal behaviour over a time span of decades and
alongshore stretches of tens of kilometres is important in coastal management. The controlling …

North of the Hinder Banks sand waves are found (height 3–15 m) the steep side of which
points to the south. Further to the north the steep side of the sand waves is directed northward. …

Bagnold's (1954) and Kawamura's (1951) formulae may be used for the calculation of the
sand movement on a natural beach, provided the shear stress velocity U * > 0·D4 m/s. Great …

The inshore subtidal and intertidal areas in mesotidal basins of the North Sea coasts are
analysed for bedding types and sedimentary structures. Seven lithofacies can be distinguished, …

Diagnostic criteria for tidal deposits and for sub-, inter-and supratidal subenvironments,
reflecting the waxing and waning bidirectional tidal flow are reviewed from the literature. …

Soundings of the sandy Dutch coast have demonstrated the presence of a multiple bar
system that exhibits cyclic, offshore-directed migration on the time scale of years (medium-term). …

In Dutch sub‐tidal waters, mud settling from suspension can produce a layer with a thickness
of only some millimetres in one slack‐water period. However, consolidated mud layers of …

1. There are two kinds of mud in the Dutch coastal area and in the estuaries, viz., river mud
and marine mud (see paragraph I for definitions). 2. 2. The mud in the mouth of the Western …

Sedimentary processes over the shoreface-connected ridges along the central Dutch coast
were analyzed using a set of about 250 box-cores, supplemented by echo sounding and side…
