16 Million to keep the Dutch delta liveable - even as it changes

Deltas and coastal plains are attractive places to live: fertile, flat, open to the sea. These lowlands are, however, also vulnerable to climate-change and sea-level rise. To better predict how deltas develop in the future we need a thorough understanding of their biogeomorphology - how organisms, currents, waves, water and sand discharge all shape the delta-landscape. Today it was announced that -ENIGMA, a project that focuses on the development of the delta-landscape, is one of the projects to be awarded through the Dutch Research Council (NWO) Large-scale Research Infrastructure call (LSRI). The 10-year project will receive 16 million euros. -ENIGMA will strengthen national and international collaboration Gerben Ruessink Project leader -ENIGMA Collaboration. The project is a collaboration between Utrecht University, TU Delft, University of Twente, Wageningen University&Research, NIOZ, Deltares and TNO.
