PARTICIPANTS
AND EXPERTISE
|
 |
Department
of Oceanography and Marine Environment
AZTI - Technological Institute for Fisheries
and Food (Co-ordinator), Spain
|
|
Extensive
experience in applied oceanographic studies,
particularly in the fields of ecology,
hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics. Undertaken
numerous environmental impact assessment
studies, including monitoring the biological
effects of offshore sand abstraction for
beach replenishment and harbour construction.
Development and use of a Q-3D hydrodynamic
and dispersion model and Biotic Index.
|
 |
School
of Ocean and Earth Science - University
of Southampton, (SUSOES), U.K.
|
|
Expertise
and experience in various aspects of sediment
dynamics. Research interests include the
formation and maintenance of sand and
gravel banks (NW Europe).
|
|
|
Renard
Centre of Marine Geology - University
of Gent (RUG), Belgium
|
|
Involved
strongly in high-resolution seismic and
geological investigations of continental
shelves, including instrumentation development.
Active research group in coastal zone
management. Research team specialised
in the use and validation of geo-acoustical
techniques (a.o. for the prospecting of
marine aggregates and habitat mapping).
|
|
|
Department
of Geography and Climatology - University
of Athens (NKUA), Greece
|
|
Participation
in national projects for coastal development
and management. Extensive expertise on
issues associated with modern sediment
supply to coastal waters of the Mediterranean
Sea, in relation to natural and anthropogenic
activities.

Participation
in large-scale marine aggregate prospecting,
detailed evaluation of specific resources,
seabed mobility and coastal impact studies.
Studies into legal aspects of marine aggregate
prospecting and licensing.

(summary)
|
|
Undertaken
systematic monitoring of the (Polish)
coast, archived in a GIS Database. Dissemination
and exploitation of databases used for
optimisation of coastal protection. Participation
in prospecting and documentation of offshore
aggregate resources, for beach nourishment.
|
|
|
Coastal
Geomorphology and Shoreline Management
Unit - Université du Litoral Côte
d'Opale (ULCO), France
|
|
Research
into coastal and nearshore geomorphology
and sediment dynamics, particularly gravel
and sandy shorelines. Includes impact
of anthropogenic activities (e.g. dredging
and port construction) on coastal and
nearshore sediment budgets.
|
|
|
Civil
Engineering Department - University of
Twente (UT), The Netherlands
|
|
Scientist in charge: Prof. Suzanne
J.M.H. Hulscher
Post-Doctoral researcher: Dr. Christophe
Brière CV
(summary)
|
|
Research
into seabed morphodynamics, particularly
the interaction between human activity
and the natural system. Development of
morphodynamic models, in combination with
a variety of field data sets, to investigate:
subsidence and sedimentary deposits (tidal
sandbanks); and the effect of sand extraction
on the (natural) morphodynamics.
|
|
|
Institute
of Geosciences - University of Kiel (IFG-CAU),
Germany
|
|
Undertaken
basic and applied research into coastal
environments: coastal evolution; hydrodynamics
and morphodynamics; environmental and
ecological impacts; coastal protection;
and coastal zone management. Involvement
in creation of an inventory of mobile
clastic materials for the German sector
of the North Sea.
