Geologist & geochemist @nhm-london.bsky.social. 🇳🇱 Dr. in 🇧🇪-🇬🇧, dad of Jonas & Floris. Fascinated by meteorites ☄️, dinosaurs 🦖🤠, lasers & X-rays 🔬👨🔬.
🚨 New job! Last week was my first week as a Marie Curie Postdoc @nhm-london.bsky.social 🇬🇧. Thanks to @tweetisaurus.bsky.social for the terrific start! I’m now diving into my #MSCA 'MORBID' project, where I’ll be using cutting-edge #geochemistry to explore how Mesozoic bonebeds formed, more soon 🦕😀!

🦕 Did you know that #dinosaurs were ecosystem engineers? When they were wiped out from Earth's surface by the #Chicxulub impact, the river landscapes of North America dramatically changed as well! Happy to see this paper out in which I played a small part, brilliantly led by Luke Weaver @umich.edu 👇
🦖Dinosaurs promoted open habitats in the Late Cretaceous, and their extinction could have led to a radical reorganization of the landscape and ecosystem structure at the beginning of the Paleogene.

I'm really delighted and looking forward to hosting @pimkaskes.bsky.social - we're going to be using geocgemical techniques to address a range of taphonomic and palaeobiological problems
Very excited to announce that I have been granted a Marie Skłodowska-Curie (#MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship to work
