Coastal and Shelf Sea Dynamics

As we bid farewell to Huib de Swart, it is impossible to fully capture the depth of his impact on the IMAU, the Department of Physics, our students, and the field of coastal oceanography.

More saltwater intrusion poses serious risks to drinking water, ecosystems, and agriculture.

A remarkable paper was published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics. The title explicitly contains the name of IMAU colleague Leo Maas.

Coastal protection in Suriname has great natural variations but will become a challenge in the future due to human intervention.

On 1 July 2021, our colleague Leo Maas officially retired. Although Leo will continue to come to the IMAU, this landmark offers a great opportunity to look back at his impressive academic career.
