The Sand Motor

Luijendijk, A and A. van Oudenhoven: 2019 TU Delft, softcover, 204 pages, illustrated. The book presents the main findings from the interdisciplinary NatureCoast research programme on the Dutch Sand Motor, a mega‑nourishment peninsula constructed in 2011 off the Delfland coast to strengthen flood protection using natural processes. Edited by Arjen Luijendijk and Alexander van Oudenhoven, the book synthesises results on coastal morphodynamics, ecology, ecosystem services and governance, showing how the Sand Motor redistributes sand along the coast while creating new dunes, habitats and recreational opportunities as a climate‑adaptive, nature‑based coastal defence.
