The Marine and Estuarine Systems expertise comprises of expert knowledge on natural aquatic systems, including water-sediment interactions that occur in mixed salt water and fresh water systems. The discipline of expertise deals with the following:

• 2D and 3D large-scale Hydrodynamics of (non) stratified systems, including tidal, density and wind driven currents
• Water quality processes
• Marine ecology
• Marine and estuarine management issues
• Water quality impacts studies
• Algae modelling
• Environmental management of lagoons and estuarine systems
• Risk assessment & Contingency planning
• Optimising monitoring strategy
• Oil-related pollution studies
• Assessment of tidal dynamics of Tidal Basin
• Drainage management of beels
• Optimisation of location of Tidal Basin
• Impact assessment on surface water salinity, groundwater and groundwater salinity
• Assessment of tidal prism in the river
• Relation between tidal prism and flow area and prediction of sustainability of river and tidal basin
• Assessment of sedimentation in the Tidal Basin
• Assessment of river sedimentation and scour
