The seabed rarely consists solely of bare sand: often other materials, such as shells are present. Kooistra et al., show shells have marked effects on bed roughness and sand transport 🐚 🌊

She tells [us about] seashells [and how they affect sediment transport] on the seashore! 🐚🌊⛏️

Congratulations to @tjkooistra.bsky.social on her latest PhD paper in @jgroceans.bsky.social !

You’ve heard that beavers are “nature’s engineers.” But Cretaceous dinosaurs might have engineered their ecosystems, too.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Is your reservoir full of sediment? Patricia Buffon has a solution for you! Take a look at her awesome new paper, which uses lab experiments to investigate scour and sediment transport by jets: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Check out Tjitske Kooistra's first PhD paper!

Where do the sand grains from a beach nourishment go? Check out Bart van Westen's latest paper on the application of our SedTRAILS model to the Sand Engine: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We had lots of fun recording for our project TRAILS at Wageningen University (and on a “real” mudflat!), with my lovely project colleagues Anna-Maartje de Boer, Natascia Pannozzo and @coastallycurious.bsky.social

Last week, I showed our research on sediment mixing by benthic animals at the Dutch Earth Sciences conference (NWO-NAC). I had interesting chats with geologists, learned a lot (amongst others about dinosaurs and plate tectonics😂) and won the second price with my poster!

Extremely proud of Gijs Hendrickx for successfully defending his PhD on Nature-based Solutions to Mitigate Salt Intrusion! resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:12e2617...

Where does my sandcastle go when it washes away? In my favourite paper we see coasts as a connected network of sandy pathways. This approach helps us better understand and manage the sand that builds ecosystems and protects us against flooding! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Hello to all the new folks on Bluesky! My name is Stuart and I'm a beach nerd! As a coastal engineer I try to keep people safe from coastal flooding using sand. Here is a silly little video explaining my research using only the 1000 most common words: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdJF...

what does the future hold for river deltas? we have 3(!) PhD positions open at UU to work on delta adaptation. Come work with me, Frances Dunn, Marjolijn Haasnoot, and Hans Middelkoop.

I'm very excited about it, please spread the news!

How can we ensure that vulnerable coasts and deltas stay robust to climate change? We need sediment! Come help us understand networks of coastal sediment pathways and connectivity as a PhD at TU Delft!! www.tudelft.nl/over-tu-delf...
