Wageningen Agricultural University, Environmental science, specialization water quality and aquatic ecology (1986-1992). Thereafter temporary staff member at the Institute for Inland Water Management and Waste Water Management (1992-1994), preparing a manual for the treatment of eutrophication in lakes. Started a Ph.D. in 1994 at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology, Centre for Estuarine and Coastal Ecology. Subject: The influence of benthic fauna on sediment stability in intertidal mudflats, with special reference to the effects of Corophium volutator and nematodes.
