 | Modeling morphodynamic evolution in alluvial estuaries Subjects: Environment & Agriculture; Built Environment; Engineering & Technology; Agriculture & Environmental Sciences; Landscape; Civil Environmental and Geotechnical Engineering; Environmental Sciences; Landscape Conservation Maintenance and Management; Water Engineering; The main objective of this research is to investigate the governing processes and characteristics that drive morphodynamic evolution in alluvial estuaries by application of a process-based numerical model (Delft3D). It is of utmost importance to understand estuarine processes so that impact of human interference (like dredging and land reclamation) Mick van der Wegen studied Civil Engineering at Delft University of Technology. He then joined the International Institute for Infrastructural, Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering (IHE) in Delft and has worked on Coastal Engineering and Port Development. His main subjects of expertise are salt intrusion and density currents, integrated coastal zone management and morphodynamic modeling of coastal systems. |
