Following the winter storms of 2022, measurements of dune erosion at Maasvlakte 2 offered a unique opportunity to analyse erosion patterns along this curved coastline.
Moreover, it allowed for the validation of dune erosion predictions with a 2D XBeach model, and an investigation into the importance of using a two-dimensional modelling approach to predict dune erosion.
