Netherlands Centre for Coastal Research
Towards more diverse approaches in Coastal Engineering & Sciences
Coastal engineering changed over the last decades from shortening our coastlines and building barriers to engineering solutions with sand nourishments, rebuilding seagrass meadows and diversifying foreshores. The coastal management toolbox is getting bigger. However, is it already big and diverse enough? Are all tools sufficiently tested? Are new tools needed? Is our knowledge sufficient for applying available tools?
The NCK Days 2023 will be held from 29-31 March 2023 in Theatre De Veste in Delft. On Wednesday we will visit the Maasvlakte and Springertduinen. We'll be inspired by two keynote speakers: Fernando Mendez and Wouter van der Heij. The programme and Book of Abstracts are is now available at the event page!
Best regards,
NCK2023: Anne Ton, Jose Álvarez Antolínez, Paul Bayle, Marion Tissier, Bram van Prooijen
On 16 and 17 March, the Ems-Scheldt symposium will take place at Flanders Hydraulics in Antwerp, Belgium. This symposium will focus in particular on coastal oceanography and biogeomorphology. Are you interested in these topics in the perspective of the Ems/Scheldt? The organizers welcome you to participate.
It is now possible to register and to indicate whether you intend to give a presentation through https://waterbouwkundiglaboratorium.be/nl/schelde-ems-workshop-2023. Deadline for registration is 31 January 2023 and there is a maximum capacity of 100 attendants. So in case you are interested, register now.

The Dutch Coastal Research Community is very sorry to inform you that Prof. Will de Ruijter is deceased on January 12th 2023 at the age of 71 years. Will founded the world-known Utrecht University Institute of Marine and Atmospheric Research in 1992 and was scientific director for many years. He was a passionate and inspiring researcher and an excellent teacher. Many of us have been deeply influenced by his exceptional physical intuition, broad vision and warm personality. Will leaves a great legacy in physical oceanography and climate physics through his scientific work, through his undergraduate and graduate students, and through his leadership in national and international scientific organisations. He was knighted in the order of the Dutch Lion for his excellent academic performance. The Netherlands Centre for Coastal Research is one of the national organisations that owes to him for his great support. He will be sadly and greatly missed.
