Willem Toonen is an Assistant Professor at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, focusing on Earth Climate. His research centers on lowland river systems and the fluvial processes that have changed over millennia due to climate change and human action. He is currently involved in projects examining large rivers such as the Meuse and the Nile, particularly investigating the effects of hydroclimatic changes on ancient societies. By leveraging process-based knowledge from geomorphology and sedimentological data, he aims to enhance current and future flood risk assessments and associated health risks, particularly in the context of extreme flooding events.
