Environmental impact assessment on land reclamation projects in The Netherlands: A case history

Characterization and environmental impact analysis of sea land reclamation activities in China

“…It divides wetlands into isolated islands, disrupting the energy flow and nutrient cycling within the wetland (Jiang et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2014). High-density human activity is a primary cause of wetland landscape fragmentation: after reclamation, the natural meandering coastlines are often replaced by straight artificial ones, while vast patches of the natural coastal wetlands are turned into croplands or urban and industrial zones (Mulder et al, 1994;Wang et al, 2014;Jiang et al, 2014). Take for example the wetlands in the Heihe River basin; landscape fragmentation has been exacerbated by wetland reclamation and the expansion of farmland (Jiang et al, 2014).…”

Characterizing and Monitoring Ground Settlement of Marine Reclamation Land of Xiamen New Airport, China with Sentinel-1 SAR Datasets

“…To alleviate pressure from dense populations, it is an important way to carry out marine reclamation land projects and expand urban space in coastal cities. Therefore, land reclamation activities have been performed in many countries around the world, including the USA [1], Singapore [2], the Netherlands [3], Japan [4], China [5], and other countries [6]. However, because land reclamation usually involves dumping uncompacted filling materials over unconsolidated marine sediments [7], the settlement process of reclamation foundation has become a problem of great public The function area of the airport mainly includes the flight area, the terminal area, and the supporting area, and the runway is about 3800 m in length [23].…”

“…There was much fear as well that large-scale and very costly geotechnical and foundation problems on the old land would arise from the reclamation of such deep lakes (initial depth more than 8 m!) (DE MULDER et al, 1994).…”
