Márta Berkesi, HUN-REN Institute for Earth Physics and Space Science, Hungary
Biography
Márta Berkesi obtained her PhD from Eötvös Loránd University (Hungary) in 2011, but her doctoral research was partly conducted at the GeoRessources Laboratory (Nancy, France). She did postdoctoral research in Nancy in 2012, then she returned to Hungary. She is currently a senior research fellow at the HUN-REN Institute for Earth Physics and Space Science. Her research focuses on deep lithosphere fluids and mantle degassing. Her research on fluid inclusion studies focuses on the better understanding of mantle fluids and mantle metasomatism, characterizing fluids associated with carbonatites, and characterizing complex multiphase HP-HT metamorphic fluids. She led (as PI) research group on the application of 3D Raman spectroscopy to refine the above types of fluid systems. At her current workplace, she leads a research group that uses an interdisciplinary (geophysical, geochemical, and volcanological) approach to explore the degassing processes of the mantle and lower crust.
Motivation for serving the EAG council
As a researcher deeply engaged in the understanding of fluid–rock interaction, volatile behavior, and mantle geochemistry, I am committed to advancing collaboration and innovation within the European geochemical community. Over the years, I have built international partnerships that connect experimental, analytical, and field-based approaches, while mentoring students and early-career scientists with enthusiasm and care. I believe the EAG plays a crucial role in shaping a vibrant and inclusive scientific community, and I would be honored to contribute to that mission as a Council member. My goal is to strengthen interdisciplinary dialogue to serve societal problems with geochemistry applied and increase the visibility for young researchers.
