‘Blue’ coasts : unravelling the perceived restorativeness of coastal environments and the influence of their components Universiteit Gent Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee
Outdoor environments benefit health by providing psychological restoration, but the degree of psychological restoration may vary considerably within heterogenous areas. This study focused on the Belgian coast to quantify the inter-and intra-environment variation in psychological restoration and the influence of natural and urban components and people.Students (N = 102, 18-30y, 83 % female) rated 52 pictures of ten coastal environments and of ...
Understanding the coastal resilience of the Belgian West Coast: set-up of a 1D coastline model Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium
The CREST project (Monbaliu et al., 2020) showed that topo-bathymetric monitoring carried out in the past 30 years revealed that the amount of sand in the active zone of the Belgian West Coast increased substantially. Correcting for sand works carried out, the rate of natural feeding of the area was estimated to be 10 mm/year, which is significantly more than the local sea level rise rate of 2 to 3 mm/year. One concludes that this coastal zone, ...

Correcting for sand works carried out, the rate of natural feeding of the area was estimated to be 10 mm/year, which is significantly more than the local sea level rise rate of 2 to 3 mm/year. One concludes that this coastal zone, with a length of ca. 16 km, has shown a natural ...
Land-use simulation as a supporting tool for flood risk assessment and coastal safety planning: The case of the Belgian coast Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Given the volatility of both natural and man-made coastal processes, coastal safety has become a prime concern worldwide. In many countries, governments have developed integrated coastal safety plans whose implementation poses complex governance issues, involving multi-level negotiations, consensus building and the reconciliation of conflicting views on coastal development. Communicating these plans is a complex issue. It involves building tools ...

Coastal flooding risk calculations for the Belgian Coast Universiteit Gent
This paper details the methodology which is used to perform a flood risk analysis for the Belgian coast. The coastal flood risk analysis aims at estimating the expected value of yearly consequences by coastal flooding for a given time horizon. To calculate the risk all sources of uncertainty are accounted for by using a pragmatic probabilistic method. To calculate the flood consequences for a given extreme storm surge, a chain of process models ...
