Clare Warren (born 1977) is a British geologist who is Professor of Earth Sciences at the Open University. Her research considers metamorphic petrology and how deeply buried rocks record information about their burial and exhumation. She was awarded the Geological Society of London Dewey Medal in 2022.
Early life and education
Warren was an undergraduate student at the University of Oxford, where she studied earth sciences. After graduating she moved to University College London, where she earned a master's degree in hydrogeology.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}} She remained in Oxford for her graduate research, where she investigated the Arabian continental margin underneath Semail Ophiolite.{{Cite book |last1=Warren |first1=Clare J |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/500459204 |title=Continental subduction beneath the semail ophiolite, Oman: constraints from U-Pb geochronology and metamorphic modelling |last2=University of Oxford |date=2004 |publisher=University of Oxford |location=Oxford |language=English |oclc=500459204}} After graduating Warren joined Dalhousie University as a Killam Fellow.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}
Research and career
Warren joined the Open University in 2011 as a Natural Environment Research Council advanced postdoctoral fellow.{{Cite web |last=Spencer |first=Christopher |title=Eclogites in Bhutan with Clare Warren |url=http://www.travelinggeologist.com/2014/06/eclogites-in-bhutan-with-clare-warren/ |access-date=2022-03-02 |website=TravelingGeologist |language=en-US}} Her early research considered how quickly Indian continental crust was buried underneath Tibet. This work led her to focus her career on understanding the processes that occur when continents collide or mountains form.{{Cite web |title=Clare Warren |url=https://www.geologybites.com/clarewarren |access-date=2022-03-02 |website=Geology Bites |language=en-US}} She studies metamorphic petrology, including mineral scale processes and large scale tectonics. This has included studying argon diffusion{{Cite web |title=Professor Clare Warren – CENTA |url=https://centa.ac.uk/staffprofile/dr-clare-warren/ |access-date=2022-03-02 |website=centa.ac.uk}} and ultra-high-pressure metamorphism (UHP) rocks. Her work on the exhumation of UHP rocks has identified new mechanisms.{{Cite web |last=metamorphicstudiesgroup |date=2020-04-08 |title=Announcement of the Barrow Award |url=https://metamorphicstudiesgroup.wordpress.com/2020/04/08/announcement-of-the-barrow-award/ |access-date=2022-03-02 |website=Metamorphic Studies Group |language=en}}
