Flora Hochscheid

Postdoctoral Researcher

I graduated in December 2022 with a Ph.D. degree in geology and geochemistry at the University of Strasbourg (France).

The main goals of my Ph.D. thesis were to (i) constrain the processes of mantle exhumation related to ocean opening at rifted passive margins, (ii) characterize sources of fluid leading to serpentinization, and (iii) quantify mass fluxes and particularly the transfer of transition metals during serpentinization. To achieve this, I combined petrological and geochemical analyses of natural serpentinites collected in the Alpine Tethys ophiolites and conducted...

Daria Holdenried-Chernoff

Earth and Planetary Sciences

Dr. Daria Holdenried-Chernoff is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at UC Berkeley, working with Prof. Bruce Buffett. She joined EPS as a Swiss National Science Foundation Postdoc Mobility Fellow. Daria’s research focuses on the development of theoretical models to study the evolution of Earth’s magnetic field over timescales relevant to the paleomagnetic record, as well as studying short timescale wave dynamics in Earth’s outer core. In 2024, Daria was awarded the Doornbos Memorial Prize by the Committee on Studies of the Earth’s Deep Interior (SEDI)...
