I am Reader in Fine Particle Dynamics in the School of Ocean听Sciences,听and specialise in the erosion, transport, and deposition of fine, cohesive sediment. I graduated from the University of Utrecht (the Netherlands) with a combined BSc/MSc in Sedimentary Geology in 1988. At the same university, I completed my PhD in Bedform Dynamics in 1993. Subsequently, I was Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Geomar Research Centre in Kiel, Germany (studying Late-Pleistocene climate signals in slope sediments from the North-Atlantic continental margin), at the University of Rouen, France (on resuspension processes in the Seine estuary and gravel mining in the English Channel), and at the University of Bergen, Norway (investigating grain orientations in turbidite deposits).

In 1998, I moved to the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds, where I started as a Marie Curie Research Fellow and then became a Senior Research Fellow. My research in Leeds included the physical properties of particulate density currents and their听deposits听and the dynamics of turbulence-modulated flows carrying cohesive clay particles. I took up my present post in 亚洲色吧 in January 2007.

I am a process sedimentologist with more than 25 years of experience in sediment transport in fluvial, shallow marine, and deep-marine environments. My main fundamental and applied research interests include physical and biological cohesion in fine-grained sediment, the dynamics of sedimentary bedforms, and sediment gravity听flows听in the deep ocean, but my expertise also stretches to hydraulic engineering, palaeoclimatology, and mathematical modelling. I combine experimental research with field work to answer timely research questions, taking a blue-skies approach as well as collaborating with industry.

Research Area

Sediment Dynamics and Morphology

  • BSc: Sedimentary Geology (Utrecht University)
    1988
  • PhD: Bedform Dynamics (Utrecht University)

I teach a range of undergraduate and postgraduate modules in geological oceanography, sedimentology, physical geography, and general research skills.听

In 亚洲色吧, I have supervised 9 PhD students (3 as lead supervisor).

Melissa Craig: Effect of cohesive biological polymers on sediment gravity flow dynamics (Amos, Adelaide; Baas, 亚洲色吧; Strachan, New Zealand), Funded by University of Adelaide.

Connor McCarron: Hiding-exposure effect on the transport of mixed sand-gravel (van Landeghem, Baas, 亚洲色吧), Funded by NERC.

Dougal Lichtman: Combined effects of hydrodynamics and cohesive clay on bedform听morphology and migration on sand tidal flats (Thorne, Amoudry, NOC Liverpool; Baas, 亚洲色吧), Funded by NERC.

Julie Hope: The biological mediation of cohesive and non-颅cohesive sediment dynamics (Paterson, USTAN; Baas, 亚洲色吧), Funded by NERC.

Xuxu Wu: Wave ripple development in mixed clay-sand (Parsons, Hull; Baas, 亚洲色吧), Funded by University of Hull.

Cai Ladd:听Ecological resilience in a hydrological context: Interactions of biological and physical processes on patterns of saltmarsh erosion (Skov, Baas, 亚洲色吧), Funded by NERC.

Iris Verhagen: Flow-sediment interactions in turbidity currents moving over soft, muddy beds (Baas, 亚洲色吧; McCaffrey, Leeds), Funded by Turbidite Research Group, Leeds.

I have a range of research interests in which PhD projects could be developed. Please contact me by email in the first instance regarding any of the following areas. Geology: sedimentary processes in fluvial, shallow-marine and deep-marine environments. Physical geography: bedform dynamics. Hydraulic engineering: cohesive sediment transport. Petroleum geoscience: hydrocarbon exploration, cores and well logs.
