Impacts of managed realignment on low-lying coasts
This thesis is focused on the design of advanced suspension systems (active and semi-active) using time-domain optimal control methods. This work has been strongly motivated by the need to develop an approach to active and semi-active suspensions which was ready to be applied directly in a …

Managed realignment in the Humber estuary: factors influencing sedimentation
In September 2003 a managed realignment site was breached on the north bank of the Humber estuary at Paull Holme Strays (PHS). The site was breached as part of the Environment Agency Humber Flood Risk Management Strategy, with the main aims to create intertidal habitat to replace that which has …

Ecological and economic valuation of managed realignment sites, Humber Estuary, UK : benefits for society
… value the societal benefits provided by four managed realignment sites on the Humber estuary, UK. Choice experiment and contingent valuation interview surveys were conducted with local residents, eliciting their willingness to pay (WTP) values for both maintenance of their closest site, and …

Impacts of coastal realignment on intertidal sediment dynamics: Freiston Shore, the Wash
The impacts of land reclamation and managed realignment on saltmarsh and the adjacent intertidal flats at Freiston Shore (The Wash) are investigated. The hydrodynamic and sediment dynamics over the intertidal flats and a managed realignment site are discussed, with an extensive set of hydrodynamic, …

Ecological Community Changes and Ecosystem Functioning During Structured Wetland Development
… ecosystem services. The engineering technique of Managed Realignment (MR) is a popular method of restoration where existing coastal defences are deliberately breached. The process of change associated with MR, including the influences of starting state, construction, and saltmarsh community …

Improving participation of the public in coastal flood management: A case study from the Suffolk coast, UK
… of ‘hold the line’ of a sea defence to one of ‘managed realignment’ on a part of the coast of Suffolk, UK (Smith 2003). Many reactions to the proposed change were not favourable, protests and bad press ensued and the problem of acceptance was exacerbated by limited public knowledge, …

Biophysical interactions and stability at salt marsh margins
There is considerable alongshore and regional variability in rates of erosion at salt marsh margins, and, with widespread loss of tidal wetlands, there is a need to better understand the factors which make salt marshes more or less likely to persist over time. The resistance of salt marsh sediments …

Assessing the ecological vulnerability of natural flood defences and risks to agricultural land following seawater flooding
… accommodation strategies (such as through managed realignment) to increase ecosystem resilience and allow enhancement of nature-based defences. <br/>
