VISION AND PROPOSAL

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I wish to thank my supervisor Rikke Munck Petersen, for dedicated supervision and support. I also want to thank Bjarne Dippern and Jan Jantzen from Lolland for the forthcoming and helpful talks during my site visits at Rødby Fjord.

Thank you to Mette, Thomas and Martin for moral support and advice during the entire process, and to Cecilie, Johanne and Esther in particular for their time and guidance during the last phase of the thesis process.

And finally, I owe a special thanks to my family, who have been there to catch me when I got in too deep.
