Grade: 8.5/10 Research project about the development of the coast of Voorne, the mouth of the Haringvliet estuary from 1964 before the closure of the estuary to the most recent stage in time. Coastal development not only changes the coastal characteristics, but has its impact on society and ecology as well. Using model simulations, the change in physical coastal processes was assessed. Using a constructed values and interest framework the change of the coastal processes was then linked to societal and ecological values in order to quantify the impact. • Setting up and using a 3-dimensional process-based Delft3D model to simulate the coastal change of Voorne in time • (Post) processing model data with Python and MATLAB • Spatial coastal element analysis with GIS • Stakeholder management: Presenting and attending in local stakeholder meetings, close collaboration with the counselor of municipality Westvoorne • Setting up a framework to link stakeholder interest to physical coastal processes.
