Research groupMaarten Kleinhans

Rivers, deltas and coasts have dynamic patterns of sand, mud and vegetation. I aim to understand how these patterns form and change by replicating them in sand box experiments and computer models.

Main research subjects (see projects):

  • River channel patterns
  • River bifurcations and avulsion
  • Bedforms and sediment sorting
  • Fluvio-deltaic morphology on planet Mars
  • Philosophy of earth/geoscience
