Education

Van de Flierdt grew up in rural western Germany. [1] In 2000 van de Flierdt completed a diploma in Geology at the University of Bonn. [2] She earned a PhD at ETH Zurich in 2003, working with Alexander Halliday. [3]

Career

Van de Flierdt is interested in the marine-terminating sector of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet during past warm periods. [1] Her research looks to develop new geochemical and isotopic tracers in marine geochemistry, paleoceanography and paleoclimate, with particular focus on radiogenic isotopes. [4] She is co-lead of the MAGIC Isotope group in the Department of Earth Sciences at Imperial College London. [5] She is also a research at the Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University. [6] [7]

She is part of the international Geotraces program. [8] Part of the Geotraces program is to ensure results for trace elements and isotopes collected on different cruises by different laboratories can be compared in a meaningful way. [9] Van de Flierdt is building a global database of neodymium in the oceans and researching the implications for paleoceanography research. [4]

In 2012 she won a Leverhulme Trust grant to research deep sea corals. [10] She was part of the Natural Environment Research Council project SWEET, Super-Warm Early Eocene Temperatures and climate. [11] She has led several major NERC grants, totalling well over a £1,000,000 as principal investigator. [12] Van de Flierdt is a member of the Royal Society's International Exchange Committee. [2] She is an editor of Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta. [13] She has appeared on the podcast Forecast: Climate Conversations. [14]
