Mioara Mandea

Mioara Mandea is Head "Science Coordination" Department, Strategy Directorate at the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales. Mioara Mandea’s research has had a broader significance and a huge impact in the community. One of her accomplishments of incalculable importance is the assembling of the geomagnetic time series at Paris, opening the path to other long magnetic series as Munich and Bucharest and dedicated studies. Over her entire career, she has been focused on the geomagnetic field and its variations, using data derived from magnetic observatories and satellites participating in elaborating useful models, such as the IGRF series. With GRACEFUL (GRavimetry, mAgnetism, rotation and CorE Flow) , a Synergy project of the European Research Council in the framework of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Mioara Mandea continues her precursory work related to the dynamical processes in Earth's fluid core seen by both magnetic and gravity variations.

The range of Mioara Mandea scientific accomplishments can best be judged from her more than 190 peer-reviewed publications, accompanied by contributions to more than 20 books or chapters in books and publications in proceedings and reports (https://www.mioara-mandea.eu/publications.html). As her CV notes, Mioara has been recognized with many significant awards, medals, and honors for her research.
