Expertise:

 

 

Research on benthic biology with a gradual shift from brackish waters and population dynamics of meiofauna (seventies) to impact studies and ecotoxicology (seventies and early eighties) to biogeochemistry and ecology of sediments (nineties) in estuarine, shallow coastal and deep-sea environments. Over 120 refereed papers and six books. Hirsch Index 32 (end of 2008).

 

Projects:

 

 

Principal scientist for over 20 major four year projects in basic research and over 20 applied research projects in Belgium from the Ministry of Scientific Policy (Concerted Actions), the Ministry of Public Health, the National Fund for Collective Fundamental Research, in the Netherlands from the Ministry of Water Management and Public Transport and the Netherlands Organisation of Scientific Research NWO (SOZ, GOA, ALW), the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), from the Commission of the European Communities, the European Science Foundation and the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea.
