The riddle of the sands : a tidal system's answer to a rising sea level
The effects of an accelerated rise in sea level on the Dutch Wadden Sea is described, taking other human intervention into account, such as sand and shell extraction, subsidence due to gas extraction and the policy of 'dynamic stabilization' of the coastline. This includes indications of ecological effects. The report also describes the expected changes in driving forces, the geological development in the Wadden Sea and the principles underlying the processes of change in the morphological structure of the Wadden Sea.
