معرفی
Dorothée Drucker is a Research Fellow at the Senckenberg Center for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment (HEP-Tübingen) affiliated with the University of Tübingen's Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences in the Department of Geosciences. She serves as Coordinator of the Hilgendorf Lecture series (2020-2023), was Co-coordinator of the Graduate program EVEREST (2016-2020), and is a longstanding Member of the Examination Board of Geoecology (2014-present).
Her educational background includes:
- Ph.D. in Biogeochemistry, University Paris 6, France (1997-2001)
- DEA in Archaeology (MS equivalent), Université Bordeaux 3, France (1995)
- Maîtrise in Biology-Geology (B.S. equivalent), University Paris 7, France (1994)
- Habilitation, University of Tübingen, Germany (2017)
Drucker specializes in stable isotope analysis to reconstruct palaeoenvironments and palaeodiets, with particular focus on the palaeoecology of large mammals during the Late Quaternary. Her research examines subsistence patterns of past hunter-gatherer populations in Eurasia and investigates the impact of Late Quaternary climatic changes on terrestrial ecosystem evolution. She also contributes to conservation palaeobiology of terrestrial mammals, applying historical ecological data to contemporary conservation challenges.
Her extensive publication record demonstrates expertise in applying isotopic methods to understand mammoth steppe ecology, human dietary adaptation during glacial periods, and megafauna responses to environmental change. Drucker frequently collaborates on interdisciplinary projects that integrate archaeological, palaeontological, and biogeochemical approaches to reconstruct past environments.
Drucker has held multiple postdoctoral positions including with the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, CNRS, and the Fyssen Foundation, working in institutions across France, Germany, and Canada before securing her current research fellowship position at HEP-Tübingen in 2017.
