Autorenporträt

J. van de Kreeke is Emeritus Professor at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami, where his research focused on coastal engineering and estuarine and nearshore hydrodynamics. He has published extensively on tidal inlets and is the editor of Physics of Shallow Estuaries and Bays (1986). In 2004, Professor van de Kreeke received the Bob Dean Coastal Research Award from the Florida Shore and Beach Preservation Association for world-renowned research on tidal inlets.
