CV


 

Competences

Bernard Bingen is geologist with a background in petrology, geochemistry and isotope geochemistry of metamorphic rocks. He developed his research in geochronology of high-temperature orogenic processes using the uranium-lead (U-Pb) isotopic system. This research is applied to solve problems of regional geology in the Sveconorwegian belt of Scandinavia, the Scandinavian Caledonides, and the Mozambique belt in Mozambique.
