Marianne Greff

Marianne Greff is a Professor and Director of the Department of Training and Doctoral Studies at Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP), Université Paris Cité. She serves as deputy director in charge of formation and maintains an active research program in geomagnetism and geophysics. Her office is located at IPGP - Bureau 137 - 1, rue Jussieu - 75238 Paris cedex 05.

Professor Greff's research focuses on Earth's deep interior processes, particularly geomagnetism, mantle dynamics, and planetary science. Her work integrates satellite gravity measurements with geodynamic modeling to understand mass redistribution in Earth's mantle, polar wander phenomena, and the relationship between deep Earth processes and surface observations. She has made significant contributions to understanding how mantle convection influences surface topography, plate tectonics, and Earth's rotation over geological timescales.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a consistent research trajectory examining Earth's deep structure and dynamics through innovative combinations of satellite geodesy, seismology, and geodynamic modeling. Her work often explores the connections between deep mantle processes and observable surface phenomena, with particular emphasis on how mass redistribution affects Earth's rotation and geodetic measurements. Recent publications demonstrate her leadership in using satellite gravity data (particularly from the GOCE mission) to constrain mantle properties and dynamics.

• Active researcher with publications spanning from 2010 to 2024
• Specializes in integrating multiple geophysical datasets to study Earth's interior
• Focus on the relationship between deep Earth processes and surface observations

As Director of the Department of Training and Doctoral Studies, Professor Greff oversees academic programs and doctoral research at IPGP, guiding the next generation of geoscientists while maintaining her own active research agenda in Earth sciences.
