Emily Catherine Pope

Emily Catherine Pope is an Assistant Professor at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in stable isotope geochemistry. Her research focuses on understanding the co-evolution of Earth's surficial environments and life through geological processes, particularly high-temperature interactions between rocks and fluids in systems like geothermal environments, ore deposits, and metamorphic alteration.

She investigates how geological processes shape biological evolution and vice versa, examining Earth's chemical reservoirs (hydrosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, mantle) and their interdependencies. Her work bridges geochemistry and Earth history to unravel planetary habitability and tectonic influences on life's emergence.
