Roy is an Assistant Professor at the departments of Soil Geography and Landscape (SGL) and Cultural Geography (GEO) of Wageningen University & Research. His main research interests are:
Roy is leader of the Home Turf project and responsible for the archaeological component. Additionally, he is member of the editorial board of Journal of Wetland Archaeology. |
Maurice has a background in landscape history (MA, 2015) and previously in peatland ecology (PhD, 2004). From 2005 to 2017 he worked at Wageningen Environmental Research (WENR; previously Alterra).
In the Home Turf project, Maurice is working on the landscape history sub-project. His primary interests are to increase our understanding of bogs as historically meaningful and contested spaces, and to develop ways to better reveal and manage bog-related cultural remains. In addition he is one of the board members of the Dutch Historical Cultural Landscapes network. |
Cindy is a PhD researcher at the Soil Geography and Landscape group of Wageningen University & Research. She has a background in Biology (BSc, 2012), Agro-ecology (MSc, 2016) and Earth & Environment (MSc, 2016). Her main interests are Holocene earth surface dynamics and human-landscape interactions throughout (pre)history.
Within the Home Turf project Cindy works on the physical geographical research component, with the aim to reconstruct peatland palaeogeography. In addition she is one of the members of the General Board of the Dutch Soil Association (NBV). Aukjen Nauta
Aukjen Nauta studied ore geology and petrology (Free University, Amsterdam) and worked in science communication for 20 years. She is currently working on a PhD within the Home Turf project dedicated to the bog iron ores of the Bourtangermoor. Her research has a multidisciplinary approach, focussing on the geological and hydrological conditions for bog iron ore deposition in raised bogs, its distribution both in space and time, its mineralogical and chemical characteristics and the use of bog iron ores by pre-modern societies. The knowledge gained in this research will be the subject of her final project: how knowledge acquired through scientific research can be used to create awareness and interest by a larger audience of the beauty and uniqueness of this landscape.
