From September 22 until the end of October, the coastal research group of Utrecht university is organising the Aeolex field campaign on the beach south of Egmond aan Zee. The goal of Aeolex, which stands AEOLian beach EXperiment, is to collect data on aeolian (wind driven) sediment transport on the beach. Aeolian transport and the factors influencing this transport such as hydrology, morhpodynamics and meteorology are investigated during the campaign. The field site has been a study site of Utrecht University for many years. These historical records allow us to upscale the measurements obtained during the field experiment. In the next weeks you will meet the researchers, get acquainted with their research and how their research helps us to get a better understanding of our dynamic beaches dune system.
