Abstract: Blanckenburg in appreciation of his outstanding contributions to promoting the recognition and public perception of mineralogy in German-speaking countries.Friedhelm von Blanckenburg studied geology and paleontology with a focus on petrology at the Technical University of Berlin.He completed his doctorate at ETH Zürich, Switzerland, on the topic of "Isotope geochemical and geochronological case studies of Alpine magmatism and metamorphism: The Bergell intrusion and the Tauern Window."This laid the foundation for his passion for isotope geochemistry.He held postdoc positions at the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford (UK) before returning to Switzerland as a university assistant and lecturer at the University of Bern, where he completed his habilitation.His scientific interest had already turned to topics in geochemistry that lay outside of traditional geo-research, namely the application of new isotope tracers to determine the residence time of elements in seawater.He continued this work as a professor of geochemistry at Leibniz University in Hanover.
