Daan Beelen is an Assistant Professor at Utrecht University, specializing in sedimentology and stratigraphy. His research focuses on interpreting sedimentary records to understand historical climatological and environmental changes. Utilizing various independent methodologies, such as sedimentological, paleontological, and stratigraphic analyses, he seeks to gain deep insights into ancient processes and conditions that shaped the Earth's surface. Daan studies active surface processes to predict the behavior of sedimentary systems, contributing significantly to geological knowledge. His results include estimating the distribution of river morphologies worldwide, reconstructing depositional environments in sedimentary rock outcrops, inferring ancient sea level changes, and predicting sand dune migration rates using satellite data. Daan's expertise in assessing deposition and erosion dynamics in response to ocean bottom currents further enriches his research portfolio. His work has wide implications for understanding geological histories and predicting future geologic events.
