معرفی
D. Sarah Stamps is a tenured Associate Professor of Geophysics at the Virginia Tech Department of Geosciences within the College of Science. Her research integrates millimeter-precision GNSS/GPS measurements with high-performance computational modeling to study geophysical processes in active tectonic regions.
Education:
- Ph.D., Geophysics/Geodesy, Purdue University (2013)
- B.Sc., Earth Sciences and Mathematics minor, The University of Memphis (2007)
Her work focuses on continental rifting mechanisms, volcano-tectonic interactions, and mantle-lithosphere dynamics, with applications to seismic and volcanic hazards. Recent studies explore melt generation in magma-poor rifts, modern geodetic data processing frameworks, and coastal vertical land motion quantification.
Scientific Awards
- NSF CAREER Award (2020-present)
- NSF Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics Distinguished Lecturer (2017-2020)
- NSF EarthCube Community Service and Leadership Award (2017)
- NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (2013)
- NSF Graduate Research Fellowship (2009)
She leads the Geodesy and Tectonophysics Laboratory (www.geodesy.geos.vt.edu) and contributes to geoscience modernization initiatives, including cyberinfrastructure development and capacity-building in developing countries.
