Sand Nourishments
2628 CD, Netherlands
On Thursday, February 29, 2024, NCK is organizing a theme day about sand nourishments. The day will focus on 1) the expected future need for sediment of the coast, 2) the effects of nourishments on coastal functions and 3) the state-of-art in system knowledge and morphological models. We do not only intend to share content, but even more so, we want to work with you on a vision of future-proof nourishing and the necessary model techniques and system-analyzes for this.
