In 1985 he did his doctorate on storm surge deposits (Storm depositional systems: dynamic stratigraphy in modern and ancient shallow-marine sequences) and was a post-doctoral student at the Senckenberg Institute (Wilhelmshaven branch) and the University of Miami. Then he went to Shell in Rijswijk and Houston as a petroleum geologist (analysis and modeling of sedimentary basins as petroleum mother rocks). From 1988 to 1990 he also taught in Würzburg.
