Emil Akseli Koskinen Tonboe is a PhD fellow at the University of Copenhagen, focusing on understanding Earth's crustal growth and its implications for plate tectonics and the evolution of habitable planets. His ongoing research project, titled 'Chromite Record Mafic Crustal Growth', spans from July 2024 to June 2027 and aims to develop methodologies for detecting mafic and ultramafic crustal contributions that conventional methods often overlook. Emil has a Bachelor's and Master's degree from the University of Copenhagen, achieved from 2019 to 2024. He investigates the origins and survival of the earliest crustal formations in the western Superior craton of Canada by studying detrital chromite and zircon. This work is crucial for filling existing gaps in understanding crustal evolution due to the preservation challenges faced by mafic rocks, which are often transformed or destroyed in geological processes. His research has implications for understanding the fundamental changes that have shaped Earth into a habitable planet.
Focuses on clinical, social, and cognitive psychology.
