Joris Eggenhuisen is an Associate Professor at Utrecht University specializing in Sedimentology. His research team investigates the origin of sedimentary deposits, with a particular focus on those deposited in deep-marine environments. The research approach employs physical experiments to examine the processes of erosion, transport, and deposition of sediments in water. The experimental results contribute to the development of genetic models for the sedimentary rock record, covering a full range of relevant temporal and spatial scales from microsecond scales of fluid turbulence to millions of years relating to continental-margin development. The primary inspiration for his research questions comes from deposits studied in various environments including onshore outcrops, seafloor profiles, and subsurface submarine core sites. His work significantly enhances the understanding of ancient environments on Earth, with practical applications in relevant industries. Additionally, Joris is dedicated to teaching excellence, aiming to support students in becoming the next generation of geoscientists. His teaching covers various topics including Undergraduate Field Mapping and Sedimentology & Stratigraphy, and he serves as a Career Officer at the Institute of Earth Sciences.
