Minik Thorleif Rosing

Minik Thorleif Rosing serves as Professor at the Section for Geobiology within the Globe Institute at the University of Copenhagen. His research spans Earth's earliest history, climate change impacts in Greenland, and geochemical applications for environmental solutions. Affiliated with the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences (sund.ku.dk domain), he maintains active research collaborations across Denmark and internationally.

His research focuses on reconstructing ancient Earth environments through geochemical analysis of Greenlandic samples dating back 3.7 billion years, investigating early plate tectonics, and studying modern glacial systems. Recent work examines glacial rock flour applications for soil improvement and carbon sequestration, alongside climate change perception studies in Arctic communities. His publications reveal strong interdisciplinary connections between geology, biology, and climate science.

Rosing actively participates in governmental advisory roles, currently serving as Member of Klima-, Energi- og Bygningsministeriet (since 2007) and previously in Ministeriet for Videnskab, Teknologi og Udvikling (2004 onwards). He has presented at significant conferences including 'Viden til Fremtiden' (2019). His work receives substantial attention with multiple publications picked up by 15-22 news outlets and cited across social media platforms.

Rosing leads research on Earth system interactions across multiple timescales, with recent publications in high-impact journals including Nature Climate Change, Communications Earth and Environment, and Scientific Reports. His team investigates both ancient geological processes and contemporary climate challenges, particularly in Greenlandic contexts. Current projects involve quantifying carbon uptake through mineral weathering and assessing glacial rock flour applications in tropical and organic agriculture.
