Irina M. Artemieva (born August 4, 1961) is a Danish geophysicist and professor who works with the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences (CAGS). [1] Her research focuses on global and regional studies of the Earth's lithosphere.

Education

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

Awards and honours

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. [8]

Artemieva is the author of the 2011 Cambridge University Press 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 2006, Artemieva published a global database of the continental lithosphere's thermal thickness and ages.[ citation needed ]

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. [9]

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 since 1995.

In 2005, Artemieva became an associate professor at the University of Copenhagen, funded by research grants from Carlsbergfondet (2005–2006, 2007–2009). In 2010, she received the Freja Grant from the University of Copenhagen. She received funding from the Independent Research Fund Denmark (2011–2013, 2014–2018). In 2013, she became Professor of Geophysics at the University of Copenhagen, where she worked until 2019.

In 2019–2020, Artemieva was a visiting professor at Stanford University, funded by the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters. In 2020, she moved to GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel. In 2022, she was appointed Distinguished Professor at the SinoProbe National Laboratory, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, and affiliated as Distinguished Professor with the China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) in 2019. [10]

Leadership positions

Artemieva was Science Coordinator and Executive Board member of the European Science Foundation EUROPROBE program (1999–2001). [11] She served as Geodynamics Division President of the European Geosciences Union (2013–2017), serving on the EGU Council and Program Committee. [12] She has served on EGU medal committees and as a referee for the Crafoord Prize. [13]

Artemieva was elected EGU President in 2021 [14] and served as Vice-President (2022–2023) and President (2023–2024). Her presidency ended following disputes with the EGU Executive Board. [15] [16]

She is editor-in-chief of the Journal of Geodynamics [6] (2016–2025) and associate editor for Scientific Reports (2014–present). She previously served as associate editor of Tectonophysics [17] (2006–2020) and topical editor of Solid Earth (2010–2016).
