Prof. Dr. John J.G. Reijmer is a Visiting Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. His research focuses on carbonate sedimentology, stratigraphy, and petrophysics, with a particular emphasis on understanding sediment dynamics in response to climate and sea-level changes. He contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals related to sustainable energy and climate action through studies on energy transitions and green energy applications.
Key research areas include carbonate platform evolution, microbial carbonate diagenesis, and the interplay between monsoonal systems and sea-level fluctuations. His work often involves field studies in regions like the Maldives, Bahamas, Red Sea, and Australia, combining sedimentological analysis with geochemical and experimental methods. He has supervised 9 PhD theses, reflecting his mentorship role in geoscience research.
Recent publications highlight advancements in understanding carbonate sedimentation dynamics, microbial influences on diagenesis, and the geological record of environmental changes. His datasets, including sediment core analyses and experimental studies, are widely shared via platforms like Pangaea. He serves as a reviewer for Sedimentology and has contributed to international conferences and media discussions on Arctic Ocean geology.
Notable contributions include studies on carbonate slope systems, platform drowning mechanisms, and the role of heterotrophic bacteria in early diagenesis. His interdisciplinary approach bridges sedimentology, geochemistry, and environmental science, addressing both academic and applied challenges in carbonate systems research.
