The project

Erik Toorman & Tina Mertens
67 km Source: https://odnature.naturalsciences.be/
Erosive sandy coast (tidal variation: +/- 4m) Man made coastline (38km dike) Spatial pressure Low lying hinterland
Coastal protection in Belgium
Masterplan Coastal Safety (2050)
Flemish Bays (2100)

Design coastal protection measures based on • severe storm impact • hydraulic boundary conditions • future climate change scenario’s
Why CREST project?
never measured lack of data
assumptions
current simulation models are often a simplified estimation of reality, leading to an overestimation of investments in order to work on the safe side
CREST-project aims to provide answers to these uncertainties

CREST – GOAL Increase knowledge coastal processes nearshore
and landward
Physical coastal processes Wave impact on structures & people
Wind impact on beaches & dunes

Presentation Notes
Innovative open source models for physical coastal processes => practical user guidelines Innovative open source models and calculation procedures for wave impact on structures => practical user guidelines + impact on structures, buildings and people; Innovative open source models for wind impact on beaches and dunes => practical user guidelines + coastal management indicators
CREST – VALIDATION
Validation in lab & in situ Data inventory, models and techniques Improved models for storms
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Validation in lab and in situ => lab experiments & pilot projects ; Data inventory, models and techniques => Validation grey data coastal dynamics Coastal safety: use of improved models for storms
CREST – APPROACH - Use of communication channels: website, news, flyers, … - Interactive participation of Guidance Committee (stakeholders) - Technical workshops with international scientific advisory board - Involve end users and public at large (in situ tests, conferences, …) - Modelling tools and guidelines for end users (governmental services, scientists and consultants,
dredging companies, …) - Provide information for EIA and assessment ecosystem services in relation to coastal protection
measures, navigation, .. - Products for policy makers and for education
(indicators, maps, ..) - Scientific output

Coastal “ Resilience “
“..the capacity of a system potentially exposed to hazards to adapt, by resisting or changing, in order to reach and maintain an acceptable level of functioning and structure”
U.S. Subcommittee on Disaster Reduction (SDR) 2005
Goal Better knowledge of functioning beach-dune system
More efficient and sustainable strategies for coastal protection and ecological management.

Presentation Notes
- Explain the main goals of your activity in a brief and clear way. Put emphasis on the innovations/challenges of the work. In principle we will have the talks and discussion in Dutch but I do not see any problem if your slides are in English or even that you give the presentation in English if this is more convenient for you. - If you have specific question(s) for the end users already, it might be a good idea to mention them in your presentation and also send them to me (not later than next Wednesday evening) so that they can be repeated during the discussion session (can help to break the ice in the discussion). - This is not a conference, but still keep strict to your time (I don’t feel in a position to cut your talk). We want to have enough time so that the people who do the effort to come to this first meeting also have a chance to bring forward their questions and/or ideas.
