Janne Blichert-Toft has specialized over the course of her career in isotopic geochemistry, gaining a deep understanding of planetary mantle-crust evolution, as well as the chemical composition of the material of the solar system. Dr. Blichert-Toft was awarded with the Murchison medal by The Geological Society of London, for all of her work and her significant contribution in the field of geology and geochemistry. In 2022 Janne was awarded the Robert Wilhelm Bunsen Medal in recognition of fundamental research and unique applications of isotope geochemistry.

This medal was established by the Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology & Volcanology Division in recognition of the scientific achievements of Robert Wilhelm Bunsen. It is awarded for distinguished research in geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology and volcanology. (Egu.eu)
