Sophie Roud

Sophie Roud is the head of the GFZ's Laboratory for Earth Magnetism in Space and Time. The laboratory was established in 1994 and focuses on paleomagnetism and magnetostratigraphy in sediments. In addition, Sophie plans to expand the areas of mineral magnetism and biomagnetism in the future and to develop new synergies with geochemistry and microbiology through collaborations. The methods developed offer potential applications in paleoenvironmental research, climate reconstruction, and the understanding of biogeochemical processes in marine and terrestrial sediments. Sophie will help supervise the GERACLE scientists, Louise Dauchy-Tric and Shahnoor Alam on producing new high-quality paleomagnetic records to fill the gaps in the global coverage.
