Marcel J.F. Stive (Amsterdam, February 25, 1951) is a Dutch professor of coastal engineering at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences of Delft University of Technology.[1]

Biography

[edit]

Education and career

[edit]

Marcel Stive studied Civil engineering at the Delft University of Technology, where he graduated in 1977 and received his doctorate in 1988 under professor Jurjen Battjes.[2]

After graduating in 1977 Stive started working at WL | Delft Hydraulics, where he worked until 1992. In 1992 he became a professor at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in Barcelona, Spain. In 1994 he returned to WL-Delft Hydraulics and at the same time began to work as a professor of Coastal Morphodynamics at the Delft University of Technology.

Current academic positions

[edit]

From 2001 Stive is a professor of Coastal Engineering at Delft University of Technology and he is the scientific director of the Water Research Centre Delft since 2003.[3] In 2017 he retired with the lecture "Once the dunes breach".

Advisory and professional activities

[edit]

Stive has been a consultant to the IPCC subgroup on Coastal Zone Vulnerability to Sea-level Rise since 1990. In 2008 Stive became part of the second Dutch Deltacommittee, an independent Committee of State and successor of the 1953 Deltacommittee (advising on the Delta Works), in which he gave advice on Flood control in the Netherlands for the next century.[4] Since 2010 Stive is leading an InterAcademy Panel team, to produce a UN targeted report on crucial water issues, which involves the commitment of National Science Foundation's around the world.[5] Furthermore, Stive is an expert advisor to several national governments. For example, Vietnam on the Mekong Delta, China on Land reclamation in Jiangsu and the United States on the Mississippi River and San Francisco Bay Area.

Stive is also the inventor of the Sand engine. A total of 21.5 million cubic metres sand, spreading 128 hectares in size, that has been applied along the coast of South Holland at Ter Heijde in 2011. It is an innovative method for Coastal management.[6]

Awards

[edit]

In 2011 Stive received an Honorary degree at the Lund University in Sweden because of his to his significant scientific contribution to the understanding of how climate change will affect the world's coastal areas.[7]

In 2013 Stive was appointed Knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion for his record as researcher, consulted expert, engineer and teacher.[8]

In 2015 Stive received both the Coastal Sediments 2015 Coastal Award and the International Coastal Engineering award from the American Society of Civil Engineers.[9]
