Martin Meschede (born April 6, 1957 in Lathen ) is a German geologist .

Meschede attended the Tellkampfschule in Hanover with the Abitur in 1975 and studied geology and palaeontology at the Leibniz University Hanover with a diploma in geology in 1982 and received his doctorate in 1986 at the University of Tübingen (dissertation: The geochemistry of volcanic rocks and the sedimentary development of the Biscay synclinory in northern Spain during the Middle and Upper Cretaceous ). In 1994 he completed his habilitation in Tübingen at the chair of Wolfgang Frisch and in 2002 became professor at the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University of Greifswald (Institute for Geography and Geology), where he holds the chair for regional and structural geology.

With Wolfgang Frisch, Meschede published a German-language textbook on plate tectonics , which also appeared in an English version in 2011 ( Plate Tectonics ). He is a co-author of several geological guides in the Geological Guides Collection (Borntraeger) : Elba , Corsica and Northeast Oman . In addition, he dealt with regional geology and geodynamic processes in northern Germany, the Eastern Alps, Spain, Mexico and Central America, the Caribbean and the Pacific. In 2015 he also published a textbook on the geology of Germany.

He has participated in several excursions with research vessels: in 1990 and 1996 with the RV JOIDES Resolution (International Ocean Discovery Program, IODP), in 1999 and 2004 on the research vessel Sonne , in 2008 on the RV Yokosuka with the deep-sea submersible Shinkai 6500 (JAMSTEC), and in 2010 on the meteor .

In 1995 he received the Hermann Credner Prize of the DGG . He was deputy chairman of the German Society for Geosciences from 2009 to 2014 and has been on the advisory board of the successor organization DGGV (German Geological Society - Geological Association eV) since 2015. In 2015 he was elected President of the newly founded umbrella association for geosciences (DVGeo eV) and re-elected for the first regular election period in 2017/2018.
