Dr. Juliane Dannberg is a geodynamicist, and she develops mathematical and computational models of the Earth’s interior that can help us understand how the Earth’s surface has evolved. In her research, she is particularly interested in the generation and evolution of chemical heterogeneities in the Earth’s deep interior, how the microstructure of rocks affects large-scale mantle flow, the processes that cause rocks to melt, and how they are connected to the formation of oceanic islands and other forms of volcanism.
She is one of the principal developers and maintainers of the free modeling software ASPECT (Advanced Solver for Planetary Evolution, Convection, and Tectonics).
