UnTRIM modelling for investigating environmental impacts caused by a new container terminal within the Jade-Weser Estuary, German Bight

Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference on Hydroscience and Engineering, Philadelphia, PA, September 2006. http://hdl.handle.net/1860/732A new seaport for container transhipment named JadeWeserPort will be built near Wilhelmshaven in the Jade Bay, which belongs to the Jade-Weser Estuary (German Bight). As a basis for planning and environmental impact assessment, respectively, the changes induced by the port in the abiotic characteristics of the Jade Bay were investigated extensively using results from in-situ measurements and 2D/3D UnTRIM-SediMorph numerical model simulations. Essential impacts of the port on the tidal and morphological characteristics of the Jade Bay could be identified
