Keynote lectures

dr. ir. Francien Peterse
Francien Peterse is theme leader of theme 2: Land-ocaen carbon transfer. “She is the daily leader of the Organic Geochemistry group at Utrecht University since 2014. Her research focuses on studying carbon cycle dynamics and past climate change, for which she uses specific molecules, so-called bomarkers, derived from (micro)organisms and plants. Information on (past) environmental conditons can be extracted based on variations in the occurrence, distribution, and isotopic composition of these biomarkers in sedimentary archives.” (Source: UU intranet)

Prof. dr. Roderik van de Wal
“Roderik van de Wal obtained his PhD in 1992 at Utrecht University and continued his career in Utrecht as a post-doc, assistant professor and became an associate professor in 2006. He has succeeded building his own group at the Institute of Marine and Atmospheric research Utrecht (IMAU) at Utrecht University. His research focuses on two main topics: climate dynamics (paleo climate modelling, climate sensitivity, ice core interpretation, and sea level variations and patterns) and changes in the cryosphere (ice dynamics of Greenland and Antarctica and glacier modelling). As of 1 February, Roderik van de Wal is appointed as Professor of Sea level change and coastal impacts, a combined appointment at the faculties of Science and Geosciences”  (Source: UU.nl)
