Courtney Jean Rundhaug

Courtney Jean Rundhaug is a Postdoctoral Researcher (Research Fellow) at the Centre for Star and Planet Formation within the Globe Institute at the University of Copenhagen.

Her research interests include:

• Planetary Science
• Geochemistry
• Isotope Geochemistry
• Meteoritics
• Impact Cratering

She investigates isotopic signatures in extraterrestrial materials and impact products to reconstruct planetary formation histories and major events like the Chicxulub impact. Her work integrates high-precision laboratory measurements with thermodynamic modeling of impact plumes and planetary accretion processes.

Her recent publications in Earth and Planetary Science Letters (2025) and Science Advances (2022) demonstrate expertise in applying isotope geochemistry to solar system evolution, with particular focus on Earth's impact history and volatile delivery mechanisms to Mars. These studies highlight cross-disciplinary connections between meteoritics, planetary geology, and cosmochemistry.
