Irina M. Artemieva is Professor of Geophysics at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Kiel (Germany) and distinguished professor at the China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) and at SinoProbe at the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences (Beijing).

Contents

She was dismissed as President of the European Geosciences Union (2023–2024) for breaking their code of conduct after having served as the Vice President (2022–2023). [1]

Education

Artemieva graduated from the Physics Faculty of Lomonosov Moscow State University in 1984, earning BSc and MSc degrees in physics. As a student, she represented the university team in cross-country skiing and sport orienteering and worked as an official English interpreter at the 1980 Olympic Games and the 1984 International Geological Congress.

She received a PhD degree in physics and mathematics with a minor in geophysics in 1987 from the Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth of the Russian Academy of Sciences. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Artemieva had research contracts with the Schlumberger, Anglo-American, and De Beers companies.[ vague ]

In 2007, she defended her habilitation thesis in the University of Copenhagen (official referees Professors R. Frei, Sierd Cloetingh, K. Furlong) and was the second person in her institute to receive a doctor scientiarum degree (analogue to habilitation degree in Germany) in geosciences.

Research and publications

Artemieva's research concentrates on the lithospheric structure of the Archean cratons and Precambrian geodynamics, from the Archean Earth to modern collisional tectonics and back-arc basins. [2] [3] [4] Her first-authored paper on the thermal state of the continents is from 2001. [5] Artemieva developed a global digital database of the continental lithosphere thermal thickness and ages [5] [6] and to apply methods to evaluate heterogeneity in the thermal state, [7] chemical composition and thickness of the lithosphere. [4]

Artemieva has raised between 2005 and 2018 in open peer-review calls more than €3 million from the Danish Research Council (DFF and FNU), Carlsbergfondet (Denmark), the University of Copenhagen (the Freja and the PhD grants), and the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters (the Lehmann Grant).

Awards and honours

Artemieva was elected member of Academia Europaea [8] in 2007 and was elected member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters in 2014. [9] When she was elected Fellow of the Geological Society of America in 2012, she was the first person in a Danish university to receive the honour. [10] In 2021, Artemieva was awarded the Augustus Love Medal of the European Geosciences Union. [4] By nomination by the Danish Research Council, she was included in the AcademiaNet Expert Database for Outstanding Women in Academia. [11] She was included in the 2020–2022 Stanford lists of the "World 2% most influential scientists". [12]

Career

In 1999–2001, after moving out of Russia, Artemieva was employed as an Associate Professor at Uppsala University, Sweden, followed by her work at the EOST of Strasbourg University in 2002. From 2003–2004, she worked as Senior Researcher at the United States Geological Survey in Menlo Park, where she was earlier an annual 3–4 month visitor since 1995. In 2005, Artemieva got the position of Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen, funded by her research grants of 2005–2006 and 2007–2009 of Carlsbergfondet, Denmark.[ full citation needed ]

In 2010, Artemieva was one of six winners of the open-call Freja Grant of the University of Copenhagen in Natural Sciences. In 2013, she won the position of Professor of Geophysics in the open call of the University of Copenhagen. She successfully led funding bids in 2011–2013 and 2014–2018 open calls for "Large research grants" from the Danish national funding agencies (FNU and DFF[ expand acronym ]). On 29 July 2019, however, Artemieva was dismissed by the University of Copenaghen, with the management allegedly claiming that she had repeatedly failed to fulfill administrative and teaching duties; some geoscientists disagreed with the dismissal. [15]

In 2019–2020, Artemieva was a visiting professor at Stanford University; her sabbatical stay funded by the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters was disturbed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, she moved to the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research (Kiel, Germany). In 2022, Artemieva was invited by the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences as a Distinguished Professor to the SinoProbe National Laboratory, followed by her earlier affiliation since 2019 as a Distinguished Professor with the China University of Geosciences (Wuhan).

Leadership positions

Artemieva was the Science Coordinator and Executive Board member of the European Science Foundation (EGU) EUROPROBE program (1999–2001), which involved about two thousand scientists from across Europe. [16] Within the European Geosciences Union, she served on the EGU Council and EGU Program Committee in 2013–2017 as Geodynamics Division President. [17] She has been member of the EGU Arthur Holmes and Augustus Love medal committees of the European Geosciences Union. She was also referee for the Crafoord Prize of the Swedish Academy of Sciences. [18]

She is the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Geodynamics [14] (since 2016), associated editor in Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group) since 2014, and has earlier served as associated editor in Tectonophysics [19] (2006–2020) and topical editor of the EGU journal Solid Earth (2010–2016).[ citation needed ]

In 2022, Artemieva was elected President of the European Geosciences Union, [20] and served as Vice-President the first year after the election. She was President of the European Geosciences Union from 2023–2024. In May 2024, following a resolution from the volunteer council, she was dismissed as President of the EGU following a large majority vote for breaking the EGU’s Code of Conduct. [1] [ full citation needed ]

Artemieva is Task Force leader in the International Lithosphere Program (2019–2024), Program Officer of the International Heat Flow Commission [13] (2019–2024), chairperson of the Danish National Committee for Lithosphere Research (since 2016), Danish Executive Committee Member of the International Science Council (2018), Danish co-representative of EU "European Plate Observing System" (EPOS) in 2008–2017 the Plate Observing System, and she has taken active role in several large-scale international and U.S. scientific programs, such as SCEC, EARTHSCOPE and CIDER.[ citation needed ]
