Soil erosion research on experimental plots in Wijnandsrade, South Limbourg,
The Netherlands
This an overview of my publications on physical geographical subjects. My affiliation was the Department of Physical Geography and Soil Science of the University of Amsterdam .
I have published on the following themes:
* Holocene geology of West-Friesland, the Netherlands
* laboratory experiments on physical rock weathering
by salt action
* field measurements of erosion by raindrop impact
under forest in the Luxembourg Ardennes
* field observations of animal activity as a process
contributing to the movement of soil material on forested slopes in the
Luxembourg Ardennes
* research on the processes, phases and conditions
of formation of colluvium in the Luxembourg Ardennes
* soil erosion research in the Rif Mountains, Morocco
* soil conservation research in South-Limbourg,
The Netherlands
* study of the impact of climate change on the supply
of suspended sediment to the water courses of the river Rhine drainage
network (see: The Rhine-NOP-II
Project Home Page ; Rijnproject,
Suspended Sediment ; Rijnproject,
The Researchers )
* history of geomorphology in the Netherlands
