BIOGRPHY:
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ute Weckmann is a geophysicist specializing in electromagnetic induction studies of the Earth’s subsurface. She earned her Ph.D. from the Freie Universität Berlin and subsequently received an Emmy-Noether Fellowship from the German Research Foundation, which facilitated her postdoctoral research at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies in Ireland. Ute Weckmann joined the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, where she leads the research group “Magnetotellurics”. Her research primarily focuses on electromagnetic induction processes within the Earth, contributing to a deeper understanding of geological structures and processes, as well as resources on all scales from soil to lithosphere. She covers the entire chain from experiment, data processing, modelling, and inversion to interpretation. In September 2022, Dr. Weckmann assumed the chairmanship of Division VI “Electromagnetic Induction in the Earth and Planetary Bodies” of the International Association for Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA). Additionally, she serves on the editorial board of the Geophysical Journal International, reflecting her active engagement in the scientific community.
