My research covers:
* The Netherlands in the Pleistocene, Holocene and Anthropocene, including sea-level rise.
* Generic palaeogeographical mapping using GIS and databases
* Lowland Geomorphology: from landform creation forward to deposit preservation.
* Fluvial sedimentology: from architecture back to depositional process, valleys, estuaries, deltas.
* Subsurface geological architecture of modern deltas: river and coast, including long-term sediment budgeting
* Rare river flood frequency-magnitude palaeohydrology and event-stratigraphy.
* Contrasting and tracing past, modern and anticipated future geographical situations in NL at large.
Topics:
* Global Quaternary Chronostratigraphy (Pleistocene, Holocene, Anthropocene)
* Quaternary Geology of North Sea Basin, including natural subsidence, neotectonics and relative sea level rise
* Southern North Sea onshore-and-offshore palaeolandscapes and sea-level history (drowning of Doggerland)
* Netherlands' Rhine-Meuse delta palaeogeographic evolution, notably the sedimentation and accommodation history
* German Lower Rhine Embayment palaeogeographic evolution, notably the flooding history shared with the delta
* Proglaciation and periglaciation in NW Europe's lowlands, notably in the southern North Sea.
Part of my time is allocated to cooperations with and consultations at and TNO , working on the above topics, lining up activities overthere with the research at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视.
