Douwe van der Meer is a great friend of mine, and he has been working on science as a hobby while working in industry (Shell, Nexen Petroleum) since 2002.

PhD – Cum Laude (2017) : “Atlas of the Underworld: Paleo-subduction, -geography, -atmosphere and -sea level reconstructed from present-day mantle structure”

Supervisors: Prof. Wim Spakman and Dr. Douwe van Hinsbergen

Current position: Nexen Petroleum Ltd., UK

Funding: Yvonne’s patience and understanding
