He has contributed to projects like the SOMERS monitoring system and the Nationaal Onderzoeksprogramma Broeikasgassen Veenweiden (NOBV).
Key research interests include:
- Peatland restoration and rewetting techniques
- Carbon and methane dynamics in managed peatlands
- Impact of agricultural practices on peat decomposition
- Development of process-based models (e.g., PEATLAND-VU)
Recent work emphasizes automated flux measurement systems and policy-relevant emission reduction strategies. His research combines field observations with computational modeling to inform sustainable land management.
Major collaborations include projects with institutions like Alterra Wageningen, Deltares, and Dutch agricultural agencies. He actively participates in national research programs addressing peatland carbon emissions and climate adaptation.
