Nadine Mattielli

Nadine Mattielli is a Professor at the Free University of Brussels, specializing in geochemistry, environmental pollution, and mantle plume dynamics. Her work integrates non-traditional stable isotopes (Zn, Cd, Cu, Fe) and radiogenic isotopes (Pb, Hf, Nd, Sr) to trace sources, reconstruct paleo-environments, and study metal cycles in Earth systems.

• Research Interests include trace metal cycling, mantle geochemistry, dust provenance, and biogeochemical processes in soil-plant systems.
• Collaborations span institutions in France, Portugal, Canada, Belgium, and Germany, focusing on geochemical applications in archaeology, environmental monitoring, and mantle dynamics.

Teaching Activities involve advanced courses on petrology, geochemistry, and global geodynamics. She contributes to projects like IsoBel (strontium isoscape for Belgium) and studies metal isotopes in honey as environmental indicators during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Recent Publications highlight dust provenance in Greenland and Antarctica, mantle metasomatism, and Roman-era material sourcing, reflecting her interdisciplinary approach bridging geochemistry with archaeology and environmental science.
