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 Deltares and TNO Geological Survey of the Netherlands, working on the above topics, lining up activities overthere with the research at Utrecht University.
