I conducted a field-based research project on the dune landscape of Terschelling, focusing on how vegetation, wind and rain shape and move the dunes over time. Through repeated site walks, sketching and photography, I mapped different dune profiles and plant communities, observing how pioneer species, grasses and shrubs trap and stabilize sand while leaving adjacent areas more exposed to erosion and transport. By tracing wind directions, rainfall patterns and the resulting shifts in sand accumulation, I documented how these elements interact with the vegetation to drive the slow migration of the dunes across the island’s landscape.
