Irina Artemieva

Professor Irina Artemieva is an internationally renowned geophysicist, currently serving as Distinguished Professor at the Deep-Earth Exploration Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences and Chief Scientist of the Deep-Time Digital Earth (DDE) Zhejiang International Research Center. She is an elected Member of the Academia Europaea and the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, as well as a Fellow of the Geological Society of America and the Royal Astronomical Society (London). She previously served as a professor at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Germany, a visiting professor at Stanford University, and a full professor at the University of Copenhagen; earlier in her career, she was a senior research fellow at the U.S. Geological Survey and an associate professor at Uppsala University and the University of Strasbourg. The current editor-in-chief of “Journal of Geodynamics”, and the former deputy editor-in-chief of “Tectonophysics” and EGU’s “Solid Earth” among others. Participated in over 20 major geoscience projects in Europe and the United States. Served as a member of the executive committee of the “European Exploration Program” (EUROPROBE) of the European Science Foundation and the president of EGU.

Over her career, Professor Artemieva has made systematic contributions to the field of lithospheric research—including establishing global thermodynamic models and age systems for the continental lithosphere, revealing the evolutionary patterns of Precambrian cratons, and demonstrating the non-representative nature of xenolith sampling from the cratonic lithosphere. She is also a recipient of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) “Augustus Love Medal.”

In her role as Chief Scientist of the Zhejiang Center, Professor Irina M. Artemieva is responsible for promoting alignment and cooperation with DDE and global experts in related fields, overseeing the overall project planning and implementation of scientist workshops focusing on global lithospheric structure and thermal status, constructing a database for global lithospheric structure and thermal status, developing lithospheric dynamics AI agents, and leading cooperation with the European Geosciences Union (EGU) and the International Lithosphere Program (ILP).
