My specialization is marine biogeochemistry, supported by a Master's level diploma in chemical oceanography for research carried out at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam in conjunction with Hein de Baar of NIOZ, and about four years as a Ph.D. researcher in the U.S. and the U.K. Keywords: rare earth elements, ICP-MS, redox reactions, iron, marine cyanobacteria.

I also obtained a Master's in geology (with distinction, from the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam), focused on igneous and metamorphic geology (Frank Beunk, Jacques Touret). Keywords: Swedish Proterozoic, shear zones, granites, gabbros.

My main research interests are the following:

- the biogeochemistry of metals,
   including rare earth elements;
- the environmental chemistry of cyanide.

Fungi in the marine environment also fascinate me. In 1998, I convened an AGU session in Boston on fungi and yeasts in the marine environment and I was later invited to the 7th International Marine and Freshwater Mycology Symposium in Hong Kong.

I hold a number of other certificates from, for example, the School for Journalism (PR, and writing for the public). I started working on obtaining the Dutch PR certificate NGPR-A, but had to let that go when I emigrated to the States.

In March 2009, I joined the Portsmouth Environmental Forum.


Activities in the international scientific community

I am a past board member of the Environmental Chemistry Section of KNCV. For more than ten years, I was one of the associate editors for The Geochemical News, an international newsletter issued by the The Geochemical Society in the United States.

I am also a member of a number of other professional scientific organizations the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), the American Society for Microbiology, and the American Geophysical Union.

Around 1990, I was very active in what was then Holland's largest organization of women in science (NIMF).


Miscellaneous

I am a member of various other network organizations, such as the Amsterdam American Business Club and am a past member of Toastmasters of The Hague.

It will likely put a smile on your face to learn that I flew an airplane (once) before even having attempted to start car. That I was an extra in a number of TV series and movies, however, will probably surprise you. Running is one of my favorite activities and I also enjoy making various types of musical noise.

See this list of activities (cv) or my list of publications, if you would like to know more. You could also drop me a note, of course.

(The reason why I added the above picture is because I made everyone smile, and I like that.)
