Daniela Rubatto, Professor at the Institute of Geology at the University of Bern, was awarded the prestigious Bunsen Medal of the European Geosciences Union. It is an appreciation of her innovative research approach, which uses metamorphic zircon as a "flight recorder" of rocks within the Earth's crust. Daniela Rubatto received the prestigious Robert Wilhelm Bunsen Medal of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) on April 9, 2019. The award singles out Daniela Rubatto's innovative research on the trace element contents of the mineral zircon and associated rock-forming minerals. This research has provided a new way to connect ages of minerals to the conditions at which the minerals formed. A "flight recorder" of geological processes. Daniela Rubatto's innovative method makes it possible to extract valuable information from minerals.
