Eastern Scheldt suffers from 'sand hunger', as a result more swales and salt marshes disappear in the Eastern Scheldt. Therefore, in 2014 Rijkswaterstaat, part of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, has brought the tide back to the Rammegors polder and thus allowed saltwater intrusion. Rammegors was natural reserve for birds that was closed off from the Eastern Scheldt by the construction of the Scheldt-Rhine Canal for more than forty years. This HZ University of Applied Sciences project provides a unique opportunity to monitor and study the changes i.e. transformation from a freshwater area to a tidal saltwater natural area. Further, the studying of soil salinity in Rammegors can provide valuable information for understanding salinization trend in polders with similar situation and may serve as a basis for future water management practice. This research aims at (i) identifying the extent and distribution of soil salinity over the time in the upper soil horizons, (ii) understanding the dynamics of the ecosystem (e.g. vegetation and benthos species) development due to changing soil water quality, and (iii) determining temporal evolution of soil, and vadose and phreatic water salinity due to saltwater intrusion. Overall, it can be noted that in-situ monitoring is the first stage of proper water management.
In this project you will monitor (ground)water quality (e.g. electrical conductivity) and hydrological conditions (e.g. groundwater level) at the study location. Further, you will measure in the laboratory total salt content from collected soil samples. Moreover, based on the fieldwork and desk study you will try to determine relations between abiotic and biotic factors in Rammegors polder.

The Schorerpolder is located between the port of Vlissingen and the cities of Middelburg and Vlissingen. The area is located near an agricultural land and is owned by Zeeland Seaports. The owner wants to use the polder for nature compensation of a port expansion to be developed in the future. The idea is to create a low-dynamic estuarine habitat, which contributes to the nature objectives of the Westerschelde. Four design variants for a future design were established through workshops and developed in terms of morphology and ecology. However, many aspects are still unanswered.

In this project you as a civil engineer must focus on cost-effective measures and necessary adjustments in the flood defense system, roads, cables and pipelines.

As an example you can focus on the design of the new dike taking in account the failure mechanisms of it, what kind of measures should be implemented against salinization, or how the road network could be updated in the area to accommodate the changes including new recreational routes.

Since the termination of the ferry service between Perkpolder (Zeeuws Vlaanderen) and Kruiningen in 2003 the area needed a new destination. In close cooperation with stakeholders a new plan was developed which combines, housing, recreation and the development of a salt march (www.perkpolder.nl). For the development of this salt march a freshwater agricultural area is now connected to the Western Scheldt, since July 2015.

The salt water from the Western Scheldt will flow through an opening in the dyke. The morphological dynamics of this inlet (or breach in the dyke) will depend on the flow velocity, size of the salt march area, tidal range and the present type of material (sand and clay). In this study you will monitor the development of the inlet, which will give Rijkswaterstaat important information concerning the stability of the dyke. Furthermore you will investigate the morphological development (height levels) of the Perkpolder basin, based on field measurements of sediment thickness, and sediment concentrations in the water column.

Reef building bivalves such as mussels and oysters provide many ecosystem services. Mussels are filter feeders that increase the water quality, stabilize shorelines and provide habitats for many other species. Recognition of the ecosystem services mussels provide has increased awareness of their usefulness and importance for ecosystem functioning. It has resulted into an increase in management activities to protect the still existing natural systems and even led to several attempts to restore lost mussel beds in certain places. However restoration of mussel beds has proven to be difficult. Many attempts were only partly successful or failed completely. In the summer of 2018 a large field experiment will start to test whether improved construction techniques may increase the restoration success of blue mussel beds in the Eastern Scheldt.
During this internship you will monitor the development of the restored mussel beds. Which means that you will survey the survival, growth and condition of the mussels and the development of the mussel beds as a whole. This information will contribute to our knowledge of mussel bed restoration which can be used to improve future restoration projects.

The Netherlands have been building dikes to protect their country from flooding events for a long time. Although the province of Zeeland is currently well protected with dikes along its estuaries, these regularly need to be replaced or reinforced. Currently, dikes and breakwaters are primarily designed from a civil engineering perspective. The main focus is on flood protection and water management. The Building for Nature approach aims at innovating the design of coastal protection structures in order to increase their nature values. Dikes with this type of design are called rich dikes, or rich revetments. These revetments can be of more interest to other users such as divers, fishermen or aquaculture.

In 2016 as part of the Buitendijks-project funded by the province of Zeeland several new breakwaters were placed in the Western Scheldt in order to protect the shore from erosion and increase the area of intertidal mudflats. At these breakwaters, the added value to nature of several innovative types of building materials will be tested at an experimental scale. In this project you will help in de development and placement of the experimental set-up and monitor the initial development of seaweeds and sessile invertebrates.

Between Oost-Souburg and the port of Zeeland Seaports the area is used for agricultural purposes. One the polders in this part of Walcheren is the Schorerpolder, the owner of the polder is Zeeland Seaports (ZSP). ZSP is planning to use the polder for nature compensations, as part of a port development plan. The main idea is to bring seawater back into the polder by constructing an opening in the dyke. In that way the polder of 28 ha, can develop in a low dynamic intertidal habitat, an important habitat for the Western Scheldt which is under continues pressure.

In this project you will work in a team of students from different disciplines (civil engineering, delta management, and aquatic eco-technology), under supervision of a team of experts form the BwN research group and external partners. The task is to identify the present ecosystem services in the Schorerpolder, and also quantify these services. Secondly you will determine new ecosystem services for different development (four) plans in the polder. You will be asked to think about opportunities to increase the ecosystem services by using eco technological principle. The development of the plans are part of the group work of the whole team, in close collaboration with the client (ZSP). You will be ask to use your creativity for the development of ambitious, but feasible polder designs.

[[Bestand:Visual DA.jpg|thumb|550x550px|Research themes of the Delta Academy Applied Research Centre.]]
__NOEDITSECTION__
The Delta Academy, as part of HZ University of Applied Sciences, offers unique study programmes and an applied research centre in the field of delta technology. The academy is based in the southwestern delta of the Netherlands. The study programmes are designed to develop a broad range of skills in delta technology, which will give students a foundation in knowledge for water, land and life in delta areas. The three specialised Bachelor’s programmes Civil Engineering, Water Management and Delta Management focus on infrastructure, ecology, water supply, policy and governance in delta areas.

=== Applied research in delta technology ===
Furthermore, the Delta Academy includes an applied research centre. Lecturers, researchers and students work together to conduct applied research in delta technology in four main fields: Aquaculture in Delta Areas, Building with Nature, Water Technology and Water Safety & Spatial Planning. The applied research is carried out in close collaboration with various partners in professional practice, like small and medium-size businesses and public institutes, sometimes in international consortia. The applied research provides knowledge and new insights that will lead to practical solutions and products to professional practice.
Education and applied research are strongly interconnected in the Delta Academy. Mostly through courses, fieldwork and experiments in the laboratory facility SEA Lab. Students participating in applied research come in contact with professional practice through internships, minors and research-assignments, which give them the opportunity to build a professional network during their studies.

=== Are you interested? ===
Students have the possibility to participate in applied research. This research portfolio is an overview of all projects the Delta Academy Applied Research Centre has to offer. Students that are interested in an internship or final thesis can apply by sending a motivation letter.

Sand banks in the Eastern Scheldt started to erode after the Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier was built. A large-scale nourishment of the Roggeplaat is planned to mitigate this effect. During the dredging works the water column will temporarily become more turbid because of the increased sediment concentration. The potential negative impact of sediment plumes are the transport of sediment to locations with a valuable benthic flora and fauna including mussel plots.

During this internship you will, based on research carried out during this nourishment, gain more insight into the added value of unmanned surface vehicles (USV) equipped with sensors. A key aspect will be the determination of the water quality during the dredging activities resulting in an estimate of the impact of sediment plumes on mussel plots in the Eastern Scheldt.

Tim:

Sand banks in the Eastern Scheldt started to erode after the Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier was built. A large-scale nourishment of the Roggeplaat is planned to mitigate this effect. During the dredging works the water column will temporarily become more turbid because of the increased sediment concentration. The potential negative impact of sediment plumes are the transport of sediment to locations with a valuable benthic flora and fauna including mussel plots.

During this internship you will, based on research carried out during this nourishment, gain more insight into the added value of unmanned surface vehicles (USV) equipped with sensors. A key aspect will be the determination of the water quality during the dredging activities resulting in an estimate of the impact of sediment plumes on mussel plots in the Eastern Scheldt.

In the Netherlands the dikes are monitored continuously to prevent the hinterland from flooding. When the situation becomes critical (because of high water levels or storms) this becomes even more intense and every possible failure needs to be reported.

If a dike, in this situation, is endangered, immediate actions need to be taken. Due to climate change this is expected in the riverine area, the IJsselmeer area and in the South-Western delta. Within a few hours (temporary) emergency measures are taken to prevent the dike from breaching, which would result in flooding of the hinterland. These measures are for example inflatable tubes, boxbarriers or the regular sandbags that are placed on top of the dike. The sandbags have proven to be a good strategy. The other measures are newly introduced and more or less only used in a test situation. The fact that they are only used in test situations gives some doubts about the reliability.

Questions that can be asked are:

·        What will happen if we don’t only have high water levels, but also severe wave attack?

·        Will they stay stable or will they start to float at some point?

·        Is there any regulation available for these emergency measures?

·        What is the influence of the water level and wave run-up on the stability of these measures?

·        How well is the practical application of the different measures during storm situations?

Figure 1: Boxbarrier and Mobile Dike

During this minor you will first investigate the measures that are available, by doing some literature research. These possibilities you will model in the flume, using different scale models. After this you will give an advise on the different measures in different situations, for example in a storm situation with waves, which measure is best applicable.

For this minor we are looking for at least 2 students that are interested in the field of Coastal Engineering and want to do some experiments in the flume.

Between Oost-Souburg and the port of Zeeland Seaports the area is used for agricultural purposes. One the polders in this part of Walcheren is the Schorerpolder, the owner of the polder is Zeeland Seaports (ZSP). ZSP is planning to use the polder for nature compensations, as part of a port development plan. The main idea is to bring seawater back into the polder by constructing an opening in the dyke. In that way the polder of 28 ha, can develop in a low dynamic intertidal habitat, an important habitat for the Western Scheldt which is under continues pressure.

In this project you will work in a team of students from different disciplines (civil engineering, delta management, and aquatic eco-technology), under supervision of a team of experts form the BwN research group and external partners. The task is to identify the present ecosystem services in the Schorerpolder, and also quantify these services. Secondly you will determine new ecosystem services for different development (four) plans in the polder. You will be asked to think about opportunities to increase the ecosystem services by using eco technological principle. The development of the plans are part of the group work of the whole team, in close collaboration with the client (ZSP). You will be ask to use your creativity for the development of ambitious, but feasible polder designs.

The Schorerpolder is located between the port of Vlissingen and the cities of Middelburg and Vlissingen. The area is located near an agricultural land and is owned by Zeeland Seaports. The owner wants to use the polder for nature compensation of a port expansion to be developed in the future. The idea is to create a low-dynamic estuarine habitat, which contributes to the nature objectives of the Westerschelde. Four design variants for a future design were established through workshops and developed in terms of morphology and ecology. However, many aspects are still unanswered.

In this project you as a civil engineer must focus on cost-effective measures and necessary adjustments in the flood defense system, roads, cables and pipelines.

As an example you can focus on the design of the new dike taking in account the failure mechanisms of it, what kind of measures should be implemented against salinization, or how the road network could be updated in the area to accommodate the changes including new recreational routes.

Reef building bivalves such as mussels and oysters provide many ecosystem services. Mussels are filter feeders that increase the water quality, stabilize shorelines and provide habitats for many other species. Recognition of the ecosystem services mussels provide has increased awareness of their usefulness and importance for ecosystem functioning. It has resulted into an increase in management activities to protect the still existing natural systems and even led to several attempts to restore lost mussel beds in certain places. However restoration of mussel beds has proven to be difficult. Many attempts were only partly successful or failed completely. In the summer of 2017 a large field experiment will start to test whether improved construction technics may increase the restoration success of blue mussel beds in the Eastern Scheldt.

During this internship you will monitor the development of the restored mussel beds. Which means that you will survey the survival, growth and condition of the mussels and the development of the mussel beds as a whole. This information will contribute to our knowledge of mussel bed restoration which can be used to improve future restoration projects.

Tim:

Since the termination of the ferry service between Perkpolder (Zeeuws Vlaanderen) and Kruiningen in 2003 the area needed a new destination. In close cooperation with stakeholders a new plan was developed which combines, housing, recreation and the development of a salt march (www.perkpolder.nl). For the development of this salt march a freshwater agricultural area is now connected to the Western Scheldt, since July 2015.

The salt water from the Western Scheldt will flow through an opening in the dyke. The morphological dynamics of this inlet (or breach in the dyke) will depend on the flow velocity, size of the salt march area, tidal range and the present type of material (sand and clay). In this study you will monitor the development of the inlet, which will give Rijkswaterstaat important information concerning the stability of the dyke. Furthermore you will investigate the morphological development (height levels) of the Perkpolder basin, based on field measurements of sediment thickness, and sediment concentrations in the water column.

The Netherlands have been building dikes to protect their country from flooding events for a long time. Although the province of Zeeland is currently well protected with dikes along its estuaries, these regularly need to be replaced or reinforced. Currently, dikes and breakwaters are primarily designed from a civil engineering perspective. The main focus is on flood protection and water management. The Building for Nature approach aims at innovating the design of coastal protection structures in order to increase their nature values. Dikes with this type of design are called rich dikes, or rich revetments. These revetments can be of more interest to other users such as divers, fishermen or aquaculture.

In 2016 as part of the Buitendijks-project funded by the province of Zeeland several new breakwaters were placed in the Western Scheldt in order to protect the shore from erosion and increase the area of intertidal mudflats. At these breakwaters, the added value to nature of several innovative types of building materials will be tested at an experimental scale. In this project you will help in de development and placement of the experimental set-up and monitor the initial development of seaweeds and sessile invertebrates.

In Spring 2015 a dike section of 100m along the Eastern Scheldt at Sint-Annaland (Tholen, Zeeland) was used as a test site for new revetment designs. Here, concrete blocks with surfaces with different sizes of pits (holes) were compared with other, more traditional revetment types. To study the impact of winter storms, every early spring the seaweeds are removed from part of each of the revetment types studied. In this project you will monitor the changes in biodiversity and you will assess which block type performs better and why. Based on your analysis you provide advice on the design of new revetments.

Tim:

The Netherlands have been using dikes to protect their country from flooding events for a long time. Although the province of Zeeland is currently protected from flooding due to the dikes that have been constructed along its estuaries, these dikes are still being enforced with hard structures such as asphalt. Often, mastic asphalt is being applied on the lower parts of the dike to enforce the foreshores of the dike. Asphalt has a bad reputation when it comes to facilitating ecology of the foreshore, in part due to its structure and temperature. The foreshores of the dikes of Zeeland often border Natura 2000 areas and can have interesting ecology with for example with different weeds and shellfish. Since asphalt is being applied regularly in the field, it is important to improve the design of asphalt for ecology purposes while maintaining safety. In order to find the driving factors behind organisms growing on this type of asphalt current ecology on these substrates need to be monitored along with its environmental conditions.During the internship you will do field work along different (predetermined) dike areas in Zeeland (mainly at Zierikzee, De Val) and offshore frames installed with asphalt tiles at the NIOZ site. You will do an inventory of the ecological communities growing on the asphalt enforced areas of the lower dike based on community descriptions, and take pictures of these communities. Also the physical aspects of the different dikes and the mastic asphalt have to be described to build up a database in a Geographical Information System. Image classification of the pictures in GIS is also part of the job.You also will analyze your findings along with the environmental conditions that you have measured. The results could be useful for improving the design of mastic asphalt on dikes for both safety and ecology.
