Provocation
“The interaction between management and science in ‘driven research’ settings is
inadequate and can greatly be improved!”
… and consider finding a better approach an exciting challenge to coastal engineering.
We expect ‘driven research’ to become more important in the future …

The Universal Coastal Intelligence Toolkit (UCIT):
UCIT is not a product but a philosophy that aims to unite data and models either directly or via CSIs …
We’ll show you an example based on the Dutch case
… for the benefit of researchers (efficiency) …
… as well as end users (practicality)

The momentary coastline (MCL) is a measure for the position of the coastline. It is based on sand volume rather than linked to the position of the waterline. (TAW, 1995)
The erosion point P (and the location of the boundary profile next to it) is a measure for dune strength. As long as the boundary profile fits, the dune is considered safe. (TAW, 1984)

The Dunetest is derived from a linear regression through all available erosion points P. When the extrapolation to the target year exceeds a critical threshold the dune is considered to be unsafe.
The Testing Coastline (TCL), derived by linear regression from a set of MCLs, is compared to the reference value for 1990 or Basal Coastline (BCL). When the TCL exceeds the BCL nourishment is needed.
Benchmarking procedures compare observed trends with a certain reference values

How will this stimulate interaction?
• Now two CSIs in the system:• Coastline indicator• Dunestrength indicator
• End users may have different information need, e.g. :• Maintaining a navigationable shipping channel• Maintaining sufficient recreational beach width• Assessing impacts of coastal defence structures
• The information in UCIT can be of use!

New types of data may open the door for new CSIs
Argus is a good example (www.theCoastViewProject.org)
Given CSIs may, in turn, inspire the need for data of a certain spatial and temporal resolution
Existing or new CSIs may prompt certain model developments
Existing or new models may, in turn, provide inspiration for new CSIs
Stimulating this interaction is what UCIT is all about!

• Personal experiences are very positive:
• Convenient storage and easy accessibility of data
• Low barriers to use data
• Greater consistency in the setup and running of models
• Powerful rapid assessment potential
• Gets people to work together that previously did not (within as well as between institutes)

• Reactions from others are positive as well:• Dutch end users very enthousiastic about the
potential applications• Exposes long felt knowledge gaps and enables
fased and focussed development• Automation of standard operations greatly
reduces the time needed for basic analyses

• The UCIT approach shows a lot of potential to balance end user needs and research efforts
• As such it is a powerful tool approaching the challenge of driven research projects.• obvious practical use• stimulating research environment
