Irina Artemieva

Artemieva was an undergraduate student at the Lomonosov Moscow State University, where she studied physics. She moved to the Institute of Physics of the Earth in Moscow for doctoral research, before moving to the Uppsala University as an associate research professor.[1]

In 2005, Artemieva was appointed an associate professor at the University of Copenhagen.[2][3] Her career has focused on understanding the continental lithosphere.[4][5] Her research combines laboratory measurements with thermal models and seismic measurements. She developed a model that describes the thermal and compositional structure, and how this relates to the lithosphere's age and physical properties. She was the first to propose strategies to evaluate changes in the chemical composition and thickness of the lithosphere.[4] Artemieva was coordinator of the International Lithosphere Program's EUROPROBE program, which involved hundreds of scientists from across Europe.[6] 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.[7]

Artemieva left the University of Copenhagen in 2019.[8]

Artemieva has also focused on training the next-generation of researchers. She has held leadership positions within the European Geosciences Union, including serving on the council.[9] In 2022, Artemieva was elected President of the European Geosciences Union.[10]
