๐ This
#phdproject focuses on addressing the practical challenges of implementing sediment-based nature-based solutions (NbS) to create climate-resilient coastal zones capable of adapting to sea-level rise, land subsidence, and increasing flood risks.
Youโll work on:
๐ท Investigating sediment delivery processes and spatial patterns of sedimentation in coastal nature-based solutions
๐ท Assessing sediment quality, including the accumulation of microplastics and heavy metals, and implications for habitat development and land use
๐ท Evaluating how salt marshes, tidal mudflats, and retention basins interact with existing flood protection infrastructure
๐ท Studying the role of extreme events and storm-driven sediment transport in long-term coastal land building
๐ท Conducting fieldwork, laboratory analyses, GIS mapping, and experiments using Utrecht University's world-renowned Metronome tidal flume
๐ท Working with stakeholders and citizen science initiatives to assess the social acceptance and real-world feasibility of nature-based solutions
๐ Contribute to creating more resilient coastal landscapes by advancing nature-based approaches that simultaneously enhance climate adaptation, biodiversity, flood protection, and sustainable land management.
