Janne Blichert-Toft, one of our permanent Wiess visiting scientists, was elected as a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters.  This is the highest distinction for a scientist in Denmark.  Janne’s primary home is at the Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon in France.  She is one of the most highly cited high temperature isotope geochemists in the world.  Her research is primarily focused on mantle geochemistry, continent formation, and planetary processes. She was instrumental in establishing and leading Lu-Hf isotope geochemistry as a tool for understanding Earth processes.  Find out more about her research here.

We feel proud and fortunate to have Janne here each spring.  Congratulations Janne!
