🌑️ Europe’s heatwaves are hitting the #Mediterranean sea too – and marine life is reaching breaking point.

Most marine protected areas ignore shifting habitats from #ClimateChange.

We need future-proof protection: science-based, connected, climate-smart.

My first PhD chapter got published! πŸŽ‰

We investigated sediment preference of Wadden Sea benthos, and identified areas which are sensitive to sediment change, or "sandification". Curious to know more? You can read our (open access) paper here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ec....

We had lots of fun recording for our project TRAILS at Wageningen University (and on a β€œreal” mudflat!), with my lovely project colleagues Anna-Maartje de Boer, Natascia Pannozzo and @coastallycurious.bsky.social

Last week, I showed our research on sediment mixing by benthic animals at the Dutch Earth Sciences conference (NWO-NAC). I had interesting chats with geologists, learned a lot (amongst others about dinosaurs and plate tectonicsπŸ˜‚) and won the second price with my poster!
