Guido Wolters
Dr. G. Wolters is an expert in the field of coastal engineering with a focus on coastal structures and dikes. He has more than 15 years of experience, based on consultancy, research and educational activities. At present Dr. G. Wolters has published ca. 35 papers at international conferences and in international scientific journals, proceedings and books.
At Deltares Dr. G. Wolters is senior advisor/researcher in the Coastal Structures & Waves (CSW) group and project leader of various consultancy and research projects. His tasks include the provision of specialist advice to a wide variety of clients (e.g. European Union, dutch / foreign governments, consultancy firms and contractors), the physical modeling of coastal structures and the planning and execution of strategic research programmes.
His areas of expertise are:
Coastal and harbour structures
Dikes and revetments
Water-soil-structure interaction
Permeable structures and granular filters
Physical modelling
Eco-engineering applications in coastal/river structures
