Research interests
During my PhD project, I will investigate the spatial
distribution of various benthic communities of the North Sea bottom
at the Dutch Continental Shelf and their resilience to natural and
anthropogenic disturbances. This project is collaborative with a
PhD in Yerseke (NIOZ) and a PhD in Delft (TU Delft), all three
projects using different spatial scales to study benthic
communities.
With multibeam scatter data (Delft), underwatervideo (me) and
box core data (Yerseke), the total Dutch Continental Shelf is
investigated, determining vulnerability of the various communities
to ease environmental policy and management.
