Minik Thorleif Rosing (born February 2, 1957 in Nuuk ) is a Greenlandic geologist .

Life

Minik Rosing is the third of four children of the artist Jens Rosing (1925–2008) and the Danish Dagny Nielsen (* 1928). His grandfather was the writer Otto Rosing (1896–1965), brother of the pastor and painter Peter Rosing (1892–1965).

He started studying geology at the University of Copenhagen in 1976 . In 1984 he completed his candidate and in 1989 he received his PhD . In 1991 he became an adjunct at the university, lecturer in 1995 and professor of geology in 1999 .

Minik Rosing researches mainly with the Isua gneiss from Greenland , where in 1999 he found cyanobacteria in 3.8 billion year old rocks and thus signs of early life, which was further confirmed at the end of 2017. He also found out that the CO 2 level at that time was the same as it is today, thus refuting the theory of an extreme greenhouse effect during the Isuum, which is also named after the gneiss .

From 2006 to 2007 he led the Galathea 3 expedition , a circumnavigation of the world for biological, geological, meteorological, geophysical, ethnological, anthropological and educational purposes.

In 2015 he and the Icelandic-Danish artist Ólafur Elíasson placed melting ice blocks on the Rådhuspladsen in Copenhagen on the occasion of the UN climate conference in Paris in 2015 to draw attention to global warming.

He is head of the Geological Museum in Copenhagen , chairman of the supervisory board of the University of Greenland , chairman of the Commission for Scientific Investigations in Greenland , vice-chairman of the supervisory board of the Arctic Institute and since 2013 chairman of the supervisory board of the Geological Research Institute for Denmark and Greenland (GEUS).

With his wife Tine Keizer-Nielsen he has three children Salik, Johanne and Frederik. The family lives in Humlebæk .
