The Waddenacademie Prize (2,500 Euro) is intended for students who have completed the best Wadden-related PhD thesis. Won jointly in 2023 with Max Gräfnings and Eva Kok. "The dissertation [Sediment Pathways on Ebb-Tidal Deltas: New Tools and Techniques for Analysis] was of excellent quality, according to the jury report, as evidenced by the award cum laude and the papers in excellent journals. The jury found it particularly clever to explain the research using only the 1,000 most commonly used English words."
