Karl-Heinz Glaßmeier (* 1954 in Münster ) is a German geophysicist . He is a university professor at the TU Braunschweig .

Life

After attending the Ratsgymnasium in Münster, Glaßmeier studied geophysics, physics, business administration and philosophy from 1973 to 1979 at the University of Münster and received his doctorate in Münster in 1985. He then worked at the University of Cologne as a research assistant and university lecturer. In 1989 he completed his habilitation there in the subject of geophysics. Since 1991 he has been a university professor for geophysics at the TU Braunschweig as successor to Walter Kertz . In 2003 he turned down an offer as head of the DLR Institute for Planetary Research in Berlin. In Braunschweig, he heads the research group for space sensors and space physics in the Institute for Geophysics and Extraterrestrial Physics .

Glaßmeier deals with geomagnetism , the physics of planetary magnetospheres , space weather , space plasma physics, plasma physics of comets and questions about the formation of the solar system. He is a senior scientist in magnetometer experiments by Rosetta , THEMIS , BepiColombo , JUICE and Hayabusa 2 and is involved in Venus Express , the Cluster Mission and Cassini , among others .

Glaßmeier has been a member of the Leopoldina since 2001 , a corresponding external member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and a member of the Academia Europaea . Since 2001 he has also been an "External Scientific Member" of the Max Planck Society at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research . In 1990 he was born with a Ya. B. Zeldovich Medal awarded by the Russian Academy of Sciences and COSPAR . In 2010 he was awarded the Julius Bartels Medal of the European Geosciences Union for his work on questions of solar-terrestrial relationships . In 2014 he received the Basic Science Award from the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), of which he has been a member since 2009. Glaßmeier has been chairman of the German COSPAR state committee and member of the COSPAR bureau since 2010, and vice president of COSPAR since 2018. Glaßmeier has been a member of the Board of Reviewing Editor of the journal Science since 2011. From 2015 to 2017 he was represented on the Space Science Advisory Committee of ESA . In 2018 he was elected a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union.
