About
Magali Bonifacie is a leading geochemist whose research focuses on the stable isotope geochemistry of chlorine and other volatile elements, with applications spanning Earth and planetary sciences. Her work has fundamentally advanced our understanding of halogen cycling in subduction zones, crustal fluids, and mantle reservoirs, as well as the origin and evolution of volatiles in the solar system. A key contribution is her pioneering development of high-precision chlorine isotope measurements in astromaterials using accelerator mass spectrometry, notably detailed in her 2022 paper on the modified Middleton source, which has garnered 10 citations. This methodological breakthrough enables the analysis of extraterrestrial samples with unprecedented sensitivity, opening new windows into the volatile history of meteorites and planetary bodies. Beyond this, Bonifacie’s research has been instrumental in constraining the chlorine isotope composition of Earth’s mantle and crust, revealing deep volatile cycles and fluid-rock interactions. Her work is widely cited—over 2,000 times—and she is recognized for bridging analytical innovation with fundamental geochemical questions, making her a pivotal figure in isotope geochemistry and planetary science.
