Currently, I am still trying to get the model to simulate the historic coastline development correctly.
As I described in my last post, I am currently getting started with the software model. I will use the 1D programme Unibest, developed by Deltares, to simulate the long-term coastal development.
I just realized I wrote my last blog already a while ago! While reading even more literature, manuals, papers etcetera, I totally forgot about this blog.. so I’m very sorry and I will try to give a...
Unfortunately, also the less spectacular parts of doing a study for a MSc thesis have to be done..
Last Thursday, we went on a fieldtrip in a group of four. With a boat, we sailed into the creeks on the western side of Lagos.
Today was my first visit to the Eko Atlantic project. Together with Bas van de Sande and another colleague, we first visited the area where the sand is being pumped up, at the eastern side of the h...
My thesis will treat the long-term morphological behaviour of the Nigerian coast near Lagos. First, I will investigate the historical development of this coast; starting in the period before any hu...
Last Monday was the official start of my graduation work at Royal Haskoning. This was also the day I perceived the departure date of my first trip to Nigeria, which was quite a surprise! It meant t...
The last weeks I’ve been modeling and calculating the impacts on the land areas of the coastal zone of Lagos State by applying ocean storm surge levels (return periods) in a model. This model is ra...
Patience is a great thing in Nigeria, but you will be rewarded if you can deal with long procedures. The procedure to collect the data needed for my study was time consuming and complex, because it...
My green light presentation for Wageningen University went well, and I was allowed to continue the way I set out the approach and methods for the coastal flooding management study. Unfortunately th...
Four weeks ago I arrived in Lagos, Nigeria. It was not the first time being in Lagos: I grew up in Lagos and spent my childhood here till my 8th year, because my parents were working in Lagos. So f...
