Irina M. Artemieva (born August 4, 1961) is a Danish professor of geophysics, currently employed as a Distinguished professor by the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences (CAGS). [1] Her professional interests include global studies and regional studies about the Earth's lithosphere. [2]

Education

Artemieva graduated from the Physics Faculty of Lomonosov Moscow State University in 1984, earning B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in physics. In 1987, she received a PhD degree in physics and mathematics with a minor in geophysics from the Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 2007, she received a doctor scientiarum degree in geosciences from the University of Copenhagen.

Awards and honours

Artemieva's honors include election as a member of Academia Europaea [3] in 2007, the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters in 2014, [4] and as a Fellow of the Geological Society of America in 2012. [5] In 2021, she was awarded the Augustus Love Medal [6] of the European Geosciences Union. [7] She is listed in the AcademiaNet Expert Database for Outstanding Women in Academia, following nomination from the Danish Research Council. [8]

According to lists compiled by Stanford University and published in PLOS Biology, Artemieva was included in the "World's Top 2% Most Influential Scientists" for 2020–2022 and 2022-2024, [11] and was named a 2024 Top Scholar by ScholarGPS for scholarly contributions ranking within the top 0.5% of over 30 million scholars worldwide.

Between 2005 and 2018, Artemieva secured over €3 million in funding through open peer-review calls 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). In 2022-2025, she received RMB 12 million in funding from the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences. Artemieva has also served as a consultant to the diamond exploration companies De Beers and Anglo-American since 1997.

Research and publications

Artemieva's research concentrates on the structure and evolution of the lithosphere, with particular focus on the geodynamics of back-arc basins and cratons from the Archean and Precambrian Earth to modern collisional tectonics. It focuses on the global and regional structure of the Earth's crust, lithosphere thickness, thermal and compositional heterogeneity of the lithosphere mantle, lithosphere formation, and secular evolution. [12]

Artemieva is the author of the 2011 Cambridge University Press 774-page-long research monograph on the current state-of-knowledge in lithosphere studies based on a full set of geophysical methods complemented by petrologic and laboratory data on rock properties.

In 2001, she authored a paper on the thermal state of the continents. [13]

In 2006, Artemieva published a global database of the continental lithosphere's thermal thickness and ages. [14]

In 2009, Artemieva developed methods to evaluate heterogeneity in the thermal state, chemical composition and thickness of the lithosphere on a global and regional scale. [15]

In 2019, Artemieva published a paper on the fate of the ice sheet masses in Greenland [16] and Antarctica [17] [18] to geophysical evidence or the non-continental origin of one-third of Antarctica [19] and for the incipient birth of a new ocean beneath the Arabian Peninsula. [20]

Through 2021-2025, her work emphasizes the role of metamorphic processes (eclogitization and serpentinization) in lithosphere evolution from Precambrian to modern settings. [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] Her main thesis is that the ocean spreading rate controls whether passive or active margins may develop (subduction), and how the global distribution of mantle plumes and hotspots follows a meaningful pattern. [26]

Career

From 1999 to 2001, Artemieva was an associate professor at Uppsala University, Sweden. In 2002, she began work at the École et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre at Strasbourg University. From 2003 to 2004, she worked as a Senior Researcher at the United States Geological Survey in Menlo Park, where she had been an annual visitor for 3–4 months since 1995.

In 2005, Artemieva became an associate professor at the University of Copenhagen, funded by personal research grants from Carlsbergfondet (Denmark) during 2005-2006 and 2007-2009. In 2010, Artemieva was one of six winners of the Freja Grant from the University of Copenhagen in Natural Sciences. She won funding bids in 2011–2013 and 2014–2018 for "large research grants" from Danish national funding agencies (Independent Research Fund Denmark - Danmarks Frie Forskningsfond/ DFF), which paid her salary at the University of Copenhagen in 2011-2018. In 2013, she won in an open call the position of Professor of Geophysics at the University of Copenhagen, where she worked until 2019.


In 2019–2020, Artemieva was a visiting professor at Stanford University, and her sabbatical stay was funded by the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters. 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 Distinguished Professor to the SinoProbe National Laboratory, following her affiliation in 2019 as Distinguished Professor with the China University of Geosciences (Wuhan).

Leadership positions

Artemieva served as the Science Coordinator and Executive Board member of the European Science Foundation (ESF) EUROPROBE program (1999–2001). [27] Within the European Geosciences Union, she served on the EGU Council and EGU Program Committee from 2013 to 2017 as Geodynamics Division President. [28] She has been a member of the EGU Arthur Holmes and Augustus Love medal committees of the European Geosciences Union and a referee for the Crafoord Prize of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. [29]

In 2021, Artemieva was elected President of the European Geosciences Union; [30] before her inauguration as Vice-President in February 2022, she was proposed by the EGU Executive to step down due to her national background. Artemieva served as Vice-President from 2022 to 2023 and as President of the European Geosciences Union from 2023 to 2024. She left the EGU President post following a conflict among the EGU Executives that escalated at EGU24 General Assembly when the EGU24 abstract from the criticized organization [31] was withdrawn based on an undocumented claim of the alleged breach of conduct. The decision made by EGU Executive Board members without approval by Artemieva was later acknowledged by the EGU Council as incorrect. In May 2024, as EGU President Artemieva established the Extraordinary Committee to assess actions by EGU Executive Board members, repeatedly reported by the EGU24 participants as inappropriate. The EGU Executive Board dismissed the Extraordinary Committee called by Artemieva and, following a resolution from the volunteer council, removed Artemieva as President of the EGU based on claims of the alleged breach of conduct and her earlier requests to see employment contracts of the EGU staff paid by the membership money. [32]

Artemieva served as a task force leader in the International Lithosphere Program (2019–2024), Program Officer of the International Heat Flow Commission [9] (2019–2024), chairperson of the Danish National Committee for Lithosphere Research (since 2016), a Danish Executive Committee Member of the International Science Council (2018), [33] and the Danish co-representative of EU "European Plate Observing System" (EPOS) (2008-2017). [34] She has participated in SCEC, EarthScope, and CIDER (Cooperative Institute for Dynamic Earth Research).

Since 2002, Artemieva served as Chair and Panel member in geosciences in national funding organizations in Ireland (2002-2003), Sweden (2006-2011), Portugal(2012-2022), and France (2013-2015), and as referee to national funding agencies in USA, Canada, U.K., the Netherlands, Italy, Brazil, Germany, Poland, Russia.

She is the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Geodynamics [10] (2016-2025) and an associated editor for Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group) since 2014. She previously served as associate editor in Tectonophysics [35] (2006–2020) and topical editor of the EGU journal Solid Earth (2010–2016).
