Joerg Renner, Ruhr Universität Bochum
After his dissertation at the Ruhr-University Bochum (RUB), Jörg Renner held postdoctoral fellowships and appointments at MIT and GFZ Potsdam before he became Professor for Experimental Geophysics at Ruhr-Universität Bochum in 2001. His major research interests are in two strongly linked topics, subsurface fluid transport and rheology of rocks. He addresses problems from groundwater flow near the surface, to geothermal energy provision from the upper crust, to melt transport in the Earth’s mantle by performing and analyzing field and laboratory experiments.
