Pieter C. Roos

Pieter C. Roos is an Associate Professor in Water Systems at the University of Twente, specializing in morphodynamics, tidal sand wave formation, and sediment transport. With over 199 research outputs and an h-index of 18, his work spans coastal engineering, estuarine dynamics, and geophysical fluid mechanics.

• Recipient of multiple teaching awards (2013-2017)
• Active in nonlinear river dune modeling and GIS-based sand wave analysis
• Develops nature-based solutions for salt intrusion mitigation

Research trends show focus on:

• Tidal sand wave-induced form roughness quantification
• Interdisciplinary approaches combining hydrodynamics, sedimentology, and ecology
• Long-term morphological evolution under anthropogenic and natural influences

Recent work (2025) includes joint effects of aquaculture on sediment dynamics and stability analysis on sloping shelves.
