معرفی
Fraukje Brouwer is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Science, Department of Geology and Geochemistry, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her expertise spans metamorphic petrology, orogenic processes, and field geology with a focus on Precambrian and Paleozoic tectonic evolution. She holds a PhD in Geology from Utrecht University (2000) and a Master's in Geology (1995).
Her research investigates crust-mantle interactions, subduction dynamics, and the evolution of orogenic belts, particularly in regions like the Qilian Orogen, Cyclades, and Bohemian Massif. She employs advanced techniques like 40Ar/39Ar geochronology, zircon petrochronology, and experimental geochemistry to address questions about continental crust formation and Earth's early history.
Recent work includes studies on Rodinia breakup mechanisms, impact hydrothermal systems as Mars analogs, and the tectonic evolution of NW Cyclades. She leads projects such as FluidNET (crustal fluid cycling) and has collaborated internationally on initiatives like the Erguna Block Neoproterozoic studies.
Her publications span 80+ articles in journals like Tectonics, Precambrian Research, and Journal of Earth Science. She actively contributes to academic education through courses like Case Studies in Petrology and Eigenschappen van gesteenten.
