Maarten van der Vegt is an Associate Professor at Utrecht University, specializing in Biogeomorphology. His research focuses on understanding how tides, waves, and river discharge influence sediment transport and shape the morphology of coastal areas including river deltas, estuaries, and barrier islands. He develops models for the dynamics of channel networks within river deltas and utilizes existing models like Delft3D, incorporating field data to enhance understanding of these complex systems. In recent years, he has engaged in various projects examining morphological processes in the Wadden Sea and investigating saltwater intrusion within the channel network of the Vietnamese Mekong delta. His PhD project research includes the dynamics of intertidal shoals in the Western Scheldt and the stability of tide-influenced channel confluences in river deltas.
