Latest news
I'm now officially working at both NIOZ - Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research, Texel, the Netherlands, and MARUM - Center for Marine Environmental Sciences, Bremen, Germany
Next to the daily madness here are some things that keep me busy at the moment:
Organising a session on aeolian dust: "Aeolian dust: initiator, driver, and recorder of environmental change" for the EGU 2012 meeting in Vienna, Austria. Click here for details.
Dust storms in Australia.
Australian climate has been increasingly extreme the last few years with Lake Eyre being filled for three times in a row. This led to large dust outbreaks. See e.g., this news item on the Dutch television, and many more on the web.
The recent flooding of Queensland prevented us from doing more fieldwork in the Lake Eyre area where we intend to characterise the many different sources of dust. We're hoping to visit in September 2011.

Spreading the word of the new journal "Aeolian Research"
A film about my dusty work for www.dfg-science-tv.de; episode 9 has appeared recently (in German).

Research interests
Aeolian dust is the main research topic I have been working on since my PhD;
My approach is a sedimentological one: the wind is a very selective transport mechanism that has a strong impact on the material it carries from source to sink, and on its particle-size distributions:
* coarse particles won't be picked up
* fine particles will be kept in suspension
Therefore, wind-blown deposits have a very-well sorted size distribution that decreases from proximal (close to the source) to distal (far away from the source).
If we can recognise and quantify wind-blown particles in deep-sea sediments (and obviously we claim that we can) they can tell us something about the environmental conditions in the source area at the time of deposition.
In addition I try to find support for the inferences made on the physical properties using (bio)geochemical and mineralogical proxies.
This approach resulted in a number of papers that you'll find listed on this page.
