The NCK Days 2024 'Innovative science for a resilient coast' will be held from 13-14 March 2024 in Tthe Oude Magazijn (Amersfoort) which is on walking distance from Amersfoort Central station. On Wednesday March 13th we offer a full day fieldtrip to the Marker Wadden with the Willem Barentsz leaving from Lelystad main harbour. We are happy to confirm that Bart van den Hurk, recently appointed as IPCC WG2 co-chair, will provide a keynote address on the latest sea level rise developments and IPCC dynamics on March 14

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 models?

We welcome contributions covering field work, numerical modelling, conceptualization, lab experiments, best-practices, etc. for the full coastal system with its estuaries, beaches, mangroves and coastal seas. In addition to case studies in the Netherlands, we also welcome contributions from areas outside the Netherlands. We aim to touch on the question whether our approaches are already diverse enough and whether our knowledge and future research plans contribute to making our coasts ready for upcoming climate change.

We have received about 72 high quality abstracts, about equally allocated to oral and poster contributions. The programme is available below. The Book of Abstracts is available in pdfpdf.
