Philipp Brandl is a marine geologist with a strong interest in igneous petrology, geochemistry, volcanology and ore forming processes. He obtained his PhD in 2013 from the FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg before he spent two years as a postdoctoral research fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at the Australian National University in Canberra. In 2016, he returned to Germany and is working since as a research scientist at GEOMAR in Kiel. In his research, Philipp is combining state-of-the-art geochemical and geophysical methods to explore the seafloor, to understand the drivers and functioning of oceanic volcanism and how these link to the formation of magmatic-hydrothermal ore deposits. Aspects of sustainability, the protection of healthy oceans, and a resilient society play a vital role in Philipp’s research.
