Cornelia Spiegel-Behnke

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cornelia Spiegel-Behnke (* 1971 ) is a German geoscientist. As a professor at the Geosciences Department at the University of Bremen , she heads the “ Geodynamics of the Polar Regions” department. Her main research interests are geodynamics, thermochronology and provenance analysis, especially of the polar region, examining the interactions of processes in the upper crust of the earth with the deeper areas of the lithosphere and with the development of the climate.

Career

From 1990 to 1997, Spiegel studied chemistry, mineralogy and geology in Hanover , Barcelona and Kiel , which she completed in 1998 in Kiel with a degree in geology and paleontology . She then did research as a research assistant at the Institute for Geosciences at the University of Tübingen , where she also received her doctorate in 2001 . After a brief postdoctoral phase in Tübingen, she went to the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Melbourne in Australia for two years in 2002 with an Emmy Noether scholarship .

After her return, she became a junior professor at the Institute for Geosciences in Tübingen in 2004 , before accepting an appointment as professor at the University of Bremen in 2007. In the same year it was also awarded two science prizes - the Hans Cloos Prize of the Geological Association and the Hermann Credner Prize of the German Geological Society . The honors were due, among other things, to their “pioneering contributions to the application of thermochronological and isotope geochemical methods in the reconstruction of basin development, mountain formation and the quantification of exhumation processes”.

Spiegel-Behnke was, among other things, on the board of the German Society for Geosciences as well as a member of the editorial board of the journal Geology and organized the international conference on thermochronology "Thermo 18" in Quedlinburg in 2018.

Since 2009 she has also taken on the offices of dean and equal opportunities officer at the University of Bremen .
