Woolderink's research focuses on Holocene climate impacts, fluvial geomorphology, and urban soil health. Recent projects examine how climate change and human activity interact in river systems, with applications for sustainable land management and climate-resilient infrastructure. His datasets and reports emphasize practical tools like the Amsterdam Soil Health Index and digital soil mapping frameworks.

His publications highlight trends in catchment analysis, radiometric dating, and hydrophysical modeling, particularly for regions like the Lower Meuse and Raam catchments. Collaboration networks span tectonics, paleoclimatology, and policy implementation.

Woolderink contributes to climate adaptation strategies and public outreach, including media engagements on urban soil management and ecosystem-based design.
