Water, sand and vegetation...Rivers, deltas and coasts are living landscapes with dynamic patterns of sand, mud and vegetation. These patterns are colourful, energetic, alive, and important to society.

I aim to understand how these patterns form and change by replicating them in computer models and sand box experiments in the tidal flume facility. Our results are shared with society and industry through the annual Christiaan , and as open access publications, data and source .

Main research subjects (see ):

  • Estuaries, Waddenseas, tidal bars and tidal meanders
  • Effects of sea level rise and climate change
  • River channel patterns
  • River bifurcations and avulsion
  • Bedforms and sediment sorting
  • Fluvio-deltaic morphology on planet Mars
  • Philosophy and history of earth/geoscience in practice
