I hold a Ph.D. in Quaternary geology from the Free University of Brussels and have a special interest in the analysis of Earth surface processes. My research work has focused on the reconstruction of environmental changes that have occurred over the last ca. 100 000 years and the application of luminescence dating techniques has constituted a central theme of these studies. I have carried out field work in southern Africa, Europe, East Asia and North America and this has exposed me to a broad range of environments. My research work at present examines near-surface geological processes on landscapes of western Canada that emerged after the last glacial period, particularly as it relates to the timing and driving factors of those processes.
