Monika A. Kusiak is an associate professor at the Department of Polar and Marine Sciences of the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences (IG PAS) in Warsaw. Her research is concentrated on the U-Th-Pb geochronology of accessory minerals (zircon, monazite, xenotime) in evolving magmatic systems and the resetting of isotope systematics by metamorphic, hydrothermal and diagenetic processes. Her current investigations focus on applying a variety of isotopic techniques to zircon from ancient rocks, especially those obtained from polar regions, in order to understand the behaviour of elements at the nano- to micro-scale. She is particularly interested in early Earth processes. Her work has taken her to Antarctica, Labrador, Greenland, Japan, Australia and other places. Monika is an alumnus of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Foundation for Polish Sciences, Top-500 Innovators, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Recently, she obtained a major grant from Poland’s National Science Center under the GRIEG call: “Poles together – the missing link between Arctic and Antarctic early Earth record”.
Research interests:
Accessory minerals, early Earth, polar regions.
