Abstract

The 20 line abstract of the book gives in a nutshell its contents: During storm surge conditions, viz. both high water levels and intensive wave attack, a dune coast is subjected to erosion. The dune face will be eroded due to a net seaward transport of sand. With respect to the safety of a low-lying polder behind the dune row, the amount of erosion during the 'design storm surge' has to be known.
