Within my PhD I research nature based coastal flood protection by connecting dikes and vegetated foreshores at managed realignment sites. Supervised by Jantsje van Loon-Steensma and Carolien Kroeze.

Connecting dikes and vegetated forshores in managed realignment

My PhD project is part of the larger NWO Living Lab Hedwige-Prosper Polder. Next to a literature review on the realigned dikes in coastal European managed realignments I am doing experiments on a dike in the Hedwigepolder.
