Radio Interview Marthe Wassink
Marthe Wassink, one of our PaRCA project members from TU Delft, was recently interviewed on the Dutch radio program Nacht van de Wetenschap ("Night of Science", at NPO Radio 1). During the conversation, she spoke about her research on sediment transport in the Wadden Sea, and how it will be affected by climate change.
The interview took place under unusual circumstances, Marthe joined live from a campsite in Hamburg at 4:30 in the morning. The following days she biked from Hamburg to Sylt, to join our common fieldwork campaign on the island.
Curious to learn more about how sand and silt move through the Wadden Sea, and what this means for the future of the area? You can listen back to the interview here:
