The professor reform of January 1999 opened a new opportunity for permanently employed lecturers to be promoted to professors. During the first decade of the new millenium, six of the Department’s lecturers were promoted to professor: Nils Holm (2000) in Marine Sediment Geochemistry, Peter Torssander (2001) in Isotope Geochemistry, Martin Jakobsson (2009) in Marine Geology and Geophysics, Carl-Magnus Mörth (2010) in Environmental Geochemistry, Sandra Piazolo (2010) in Structural Geology and Tectonics, and Victoria Pease (2010) in Tectonics and Magmatism.
