Ph.D., 2008, Wageningen University

I study how soils and landscapes slowly dance together and influence each other. Specific interests within that field include the computer simulation of the soil-landscape interactions using my computer model LORICA, the path dependency of landslides, and soil mapping methods that are not landscape-blind. I am in love with mountain soils and landscapes.

I hold two MS degrees and a PhD degree from Wageningen University in the Netherlands, all along the interface of soils and geomorphology with a strong methodological focus. From 2008 to 2016, I worked at Wageningen as assistant and later associate professor focusing on soils and geomorphology with a focus on (Quaternary) landscape evolution modelling and soil development, before moving to Kansas State University in the Great Plains of the United States. At Kansas, the methodological focus of my work strengthened with the development of my soil-landscape evolution model LORICA and a stronger focus on soil mapping. Some of my work on soil map development and improvement is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture. I am one of the main users and proponents of the Marston Earth System Science laboratory at the department of Geography and Geospatial Sciences. Internationally, in addition to my work as Editor in Chief for CATENA, I regularly review papers for other journals and grant proposals for funding agencies, in English, German or French.
