A new setup to study the influence of plant growth on the consolidation of dredged cohesive sediment

Barciela-Rial, M. (author), Saaltink, R.M. (author), van Kessel, T. (author), Chassagne, C. (author), Dekker, S.C. (author), de Boer, H.J. (author), Griffioen, J. (author), Wassen, M.J. (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author)

Dredged cohesive sediment is progressively being used for wetland construction. However, little is known about the effect of plant growth during the self-weight consolidation of this sediment. In order to check the feasibility of such a study, a new experimental setup has been constructed. As an example, the effect of Phragmites australis on the...

Offshore Wind Energy and Marine Biodiversity in the North Sea: Life Cycle Impact Assessment for Benthic Communities

Li, C. (author), Coolen, J.W.P. (author), Scherer, L. (author), Mogollon, J.M. (author), Braeckman, U. (author), Vanaverbeke, J. (author), Tukker, A. (author), Steubing, B. (author)

Large-scale offshore wind energy developments represent a major player in the energy transition but are likely to have (negative or positive) impacts on marine biodiversity. Wind turbine foundations and sour protection often replace soft sediment with hard substrates, creating artificial reefs for sessile dwellers. Offshore wind farm (OWF)...

Physical controls and a priori estimation of raising land surface elevation across the southwestern Bangladesh delta using tidal river management

Islam, M.F. (author), Schot, P.P. (author), Dekker, S.C. (author), Griffioen, J. (author), Middelkoop, H. (author)

The Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna delta in Bangladesh is one of the largest and most densely popu lated deltas in the world and is threatened by relative sea level rise (RSLR). Renewed sediment deposition through tidal river management (TRM), a controlled flooding with dike breach, inside the lowest parts of the delta polders (so called beels) can...

Effect of composition on the compressibility and shear strength of dredged cohesive sediment

Barciela-Rial, M. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), van Kessel, T. (author), Griffioen, J. (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author)

Progressively, more dredged sediments are being reused for engineering projects. For example, the Marker Wadden is a new wetland constructed in lake Markermeer, the Netherlands, with dredged cohesive sediments originating from the bed of the lake. Such dredged sediments are often dominated by cohesive sediment particles with varying amounts of...

Late Weichselian and Holocene climatic and local controls on aeolian deposition inferred from decomposing grain size-shape distributions

van Hateren, J.A. (author), Kasse, C. (author), van der Woude, J. (author), Schokker, J. (author), Prins, M.A. (author), van Balen, R.T. (author)

Aeolian deposits form rich archives of climatic and environmental changes, which have not been fully explored. In this study, results from end-member modelling of grain size-shape distributions were combined with palynological records to reconstruct sedimentary environments and transport mechanisms, and to distinguish climatically-caused from...

Inverse modeling of the 2021 spring super dust storms in East Asia

Jin, J. (author), Pang, M. (author), Segers, A. (author), Han, W. (author), Fang, L. (author), Li, B. (author), Feng, H. (author), Lin, H.X. (author), Liao, H. (author)

Last spring, super dust storms reappeared in East Asia after being absent for one and a half decades. The event caused enormous losses in both Mongolia and China. Accurate simulation of such super sandstorms is valuable for the quantification of health damage, aviation risks, and profound impacts on the Earth system, but also to reveal the...

Spatial and seasonal variability of sediment accumulation potential through controlled flooding of the beels located in the polders of the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna delta of Southwest Bangladesh

Feroz Islam, M. (author), Middelkoop, H. (author), Schot, P.P. (author), Dekker, S.C. (author), Griffioen, J. (author)

The Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) delta plain within Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable to relative sea level rise (RSLR) in the world especially under current anthropogenically modified (i.e., embanked) conditions. Tidal river management (TRM) as practiced in coastal regions of Bangladesh may provide an opportunity to combat RSLR by...

Paleoflooding reconstruction from Holocene levee deposits in the Lower Meuse valley, the Netherlands

Peng, F. (author), Kasse, C. (author), Prins, M.A. (author), Ellenkamp, R. (author), Krasnoperov, M.Y. (author), van Balen, R.T. (author)

This study investigates the Holocene levee deposits and paleoflooding history of the Lower Meuse in the Netherlands based on archeological investigations and sedimentary analyses (grain size, end-member modelling, magnetic susceptibility and thermogravimetric analyses). The levee on the left bank in the study area near Ooijen contains a...

An improved method for paleoflood reconstruction and flooding phase identification, applied to the Meuse River in the Netherlands

This study investigates Holocene floodplain evolution and flooding phases as experienced in the Lower Meuse catchment, primarily based on grain-size distributions of channel-fill and floodplain deposits in sediment cores. The presence of post-depositional Fe[sbnd]Mn concretions and resistant organic particulate materials impedes the direct use...

Hydrological and biogeochemical controls on Fe cycling at the Krabbenbeek supratidal/intertidal zone, the Netherlands: Why does the Fe pump sputter

Morera-Chavarria, A. (author), Griffioen, J. (author), Chueca-Garcia, I. (author), Faneca-Sanchez, M. (author), Behrends, T. (author)

Frequent and unexplained iron enrichments have been localized in buried, Holocene, marine sediments in coastal areas. These buried sediments are nowadays often part of groundwater systems in densely populated deltas. Here, the Krabbenkreek intertidal/supratidal area in the Netherlands is considered as a present analogue for diagenetic processes...

Human-caused avulsion in the Rhine-Meuse delta before historic embankment (The Netherlands)

Pierik, H.J. (author), Stouthamer, E. (author), Schuring, T. (author), Cohen, K.M. (author)

Although the shifting of deltaic river branches (avulsion) is a natural process that has become increasingly influenced by humans, the impact of early human activities as a driver of avulsion success has remained poorly explored. This study demonstrates how two important avulsions in the downstream part of the Rhine-Meuse delta, The Netherlands,...

Using tetraether lipids archived in North Sea Basin sediments to extract North Western European Pliocene continental air temperatures

Crampton-Flood, E.D. (author), Peterse, F. (author), Munsterman, D.K. (author)

The Pliocene is often regarded as a suitable analogue for future climate, due to an overall warmer climate (2–3◦C) coupled with atmospheric CO2concentrations largely similar to present values (∼400 ppmv). Numerous Pliocene sea surface temperature (SST) records are available, however, little is known about climate in the terrestrial realm. Here...

The petroleum systems of two adjacent Miocene intraslope minibasins in the northern deep-water Gulf of Mexico are modeled to investigate why one of them produces primarily gas but the other produces oil. Specifically, the Mensa field produces gas from a faulted four-way closure that overlies a turtle structure, whereas the adjacent Thunder Horse...

In-Line Resistance and Temperature Measurement of Conductive Inks

Teunissen, J.P. (author), Abbel, R. (author), Hendriks, R. (author), Groen, P. (author)

The necessary metal-based inks typically consist of silver nanoparticles dispersed in a liquid carrier medium. In order to keep the ink stable and printable, the agglomeration and sedimentation of these functional components need to be prevented as long as they are not printed onto a substrate. This is typically done by the addition of organic ...
