Sarah Bodeving

Sarah Bodeving is a Researcher in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at McGill University, affiliated with the Faculty of Science. She holds a M.Sc. from McGill University and a B.Sc. in Geosciences from the University of Innsbruck. Her research focuses on the petrogenesis of LCT-pegmatite deposits and the exploration of rare metals such as lithium, cesium, and tantalum. She currently advises graduate students in these areas.

Her work emphasizes the study of rare earth element (REE) mineralization processes, particularly in carbonatite-associated systems like the Lofdal Intrusive Suite in Namibia and the Big Whopper Li-Cs-Ta pegmatite in Canada. Research themes include melt immiscibility, hydrothermal fractionation, and the evolution of mineralizing fluids.

Her publications (2013–2025) explore the geological and geochemical mechanisms behind REE deposits in diverse settings, contributing to both academic understanding and applied mineral exploration strategies.

Advising: Currently supervising graduate students in mineral deposit research (specific names not listed). No grants explicitly detailed in provided texts.

Labs/Teams: Affiliated with McGill's Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences research groups focusing on economic geology and mineral systems.
