Roeland van de Vijsel

I am a visiting researcher from Wageningen University & Research (WUR) in the Netherlands, where I am an Assistant Professor in Environmental Hydraulics. My research focus is on nonlinear dynamics (self-organization, tipping points) that can arise from feedbacks between hydrodynamics, sediment dynamics and ecology, for instance in seagrass meadows, tidal marshes and other coastal wetlands. As a visiting researcher, I am collaborating with Damià Gomila (IFISC), Emilio Hernández-García (IFISC) and Alejandro Orfila (IMEDEA) to advance our previous work on ocean wave reflection in seagrass meadows.
