<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">In this project, you will investigate the wind-related variations in stratification, circulation and mixing in enclosed former estuaries. You will study the role of these phenomena
in the transport of anoxic deep water to the shallower areas. You will determine how processes such as wind-setup, upwelling, downwelling, internal waves and density-driven flows influence the dynamics. You will also investigate how these processes are affected
by the strong bathymetric variations typical for former estuaries, with tidal channels and shoals. Finally, you will assess how these phenomena change under the influence of climate change. To investigate this, you will use a combination of field measurements
and numerical modelling, using high-resolution thermistor strings, ADCP’s and echosounders and 3D numerical models in Delft3D Flexible Mesh.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
