Cor obtained his PhD in 1984 at Utrecht University and has been an ardent paleomagnetist ever since, from 1995 as head of the Paleomagnetic laboratory Fort Hoofddijk, and from 1999 as full professor. Cor remains fascinated by the Earth's magnetic field recorded in the geological archive, and all its applications in dating, tectonics, and more.
Daniel earned his PhD degree in Geology from Salamanca University in 2012, worked as a post-doc at Fort Hoofddijk until 2016 and is currently a Scientist at CSIC (Spain) and Assistant Professor at Tohoku University (Japan). His research is focused on using paleomagnetism and other tools to plate kinematics, tectonic processes and global geodynamics.
Douwe received his PhD degree in Geology from Utrecht University in 2004, subsequently worked at universities in the UK and Norway, and is currently Full Professor, Chair in Global Tectonics and Paleogeography in Utrecht. He specializes in plate and paleogeography reconstructions, especially of intensely deformed convergent margins.
Bram obtained his PhD from Utrecht University in 2023 and currently works as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Milano-Bicocca, studying the interactions between tectonics and climate in the Cenozoic. His PhD project focused on the tectonic and paleogeographic applications of paleomagnetism, and led to the construction of a new global apparent polar wander path.
