Abstract
Along the coast of Friesland in The Netherlands, hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes were examined in order to understand the future development of salt water marshes during rising sea level. Measurements show sedimentation dominating over erosion in the pioneer zone of the salt marshes during May to October 1997. The sedimentation rates vary along the coast. Alongshore differences in wave height and suspended sediment concentrations may partly explain the spatial variation in sedimentation rates, which may also be related to differences in large-scale morphology seaward of the pioneer zone. Morphological changes are likely to be particularly rapid during rough weather conditions.
