“…As a result, the thesis as a whole as well as some of the individual chapters combine physical geography and geology with archaeology and historical geography to answer an ultimately hydrological question. Multidisciplinarity is increasingly being recognized as very important in palaeoflood hydrological research (Woodward et al, 2010;Fontana et al, 2020a), and this thesis underlines that idea.…”

Preface 1 10 out. Gerben Zielman -thank you especially for giving me the opportunity to collaborate with you on the Jansbeek report. Jürgen Herget -thank you for guiding me through the upstream part of my study area. The trip around Bonn and Cologne was a wonderful experience and on top of that greatly increased my familiarity with the region. Livio Ronchi -I visited you in Padova multiple times after supervising the student fieldwork, which made the yearly trip to Italy even more fun. Jasper Candel, Hessel Woolderink, and many others -thank you for the good times at the various conferences where we ran into each other. Thinking back brings up many nice memories of dinners, drinks, and, of course, insightful discussions.Besides doing research, I spent a lot of time on teaching, including numerous courses, excursions, and fieldworks. In particular, I enjoyed supervising students and cooperating with them during their research projects, whether BSc honours project, BSc thesis, MSc guided research, MSc thesis, or bright minds assistantship. Tessa Deggeller, Roy Dierx, Yorick Fredrix, Liam Hall, Silke Meijdam, Jelle Olthuis, Jari Wouters, and Jip Zinsmeister -thank you for your efforts, your enthusiasm, and the in-depth discussions on your respective subjects. Each of you worked on an innovative topic and produced interesting results, some of which found their way into my thesis. Jip -I wish you the best of luck with your PhD in Leuven on floodplain evolution.Without naming everyone, I want to acknowledge all my (former) colleagues at the department of Physical Geography. Maarten Zeylmans -I am grateful for the extensive help with GIS and for the opportunity to provide guest lectures in your MSc course. Harm Jan Pierik -the landscape reconstruction aspects of my research benefited from your input. Furthermore, I enjoyed sharing an apartment with you during the INQUA congress in Dublin. Maarten Kleinhans, Menno Straatsma, Esther Stouthamer, Wim Hoek, and several others -thank you for checking in with me at times despite not being directly involved in the project. It is nice to experience some support during the often individualistic PhD trajectory. Most of all, I acknowledge my fellow PhD candidates, who provided distraction and focus, and sometimes both at the same time. Thank you for being there -
