معرفی
Sarah Lambart is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Utah, where she leads the MagMaX Lab. Her research focuses on igneous processes, mantle heterogeneity, and magma genesis using experimental and analytical techniques.
Education:
- PhD in Petrology, Blaise Pascal University, France (2010)
- MS in Earth Sciences, Blaise Pascal University (2006)
- BS in Earth Sciences, Blaise Pascal University, France (2004)
Research Interests:
Sarah Lambart's research explores the composition and dynamics of Earth's mantle, particularly how heterogeneities influence basalt genesis. Her work integrates high-pressure experiments, geochemical modeling (e.g., Melt-PX), and isotopic analyses to understand magma formation and transport. She investigates pyroxenite melting, melt-rock interactions, and the geochemical signatures of recycled materials in the mantle. Her recent projects involve IODP Expeditions 396 and 402, focusing on magmatism during continental breakup and its climate implications.
Publication Trends:
Her recent articles (2021–2025) span planetary science (Mercury's mantle), deep Earth processes (mantle heterogeneity), and paleoclimate (PETM). They emphasize isotope geochemistry (B, Fe, U-series), experimental petrology, and numerical modeling. Key themes include recycled volatiles in the mantle, crustal anatexis during rifting, and melt transport dynamics.
Scientific Awards and Funding:
- NSF MRI Grant (co-PI)
- NSF MG&G Grant
- NSF EAR Grant
- Geology and Geophysics Faculty Research Award (2024)
- University of Utah Graduate Research Fellowship (mentor)
- Multiple student fellowships and travel grants (WAGS, MSA, GSA, Chapman)
Advising and Grants:
She mentors numerous graduate and undergraduate students, many of whom have received prestigious awards. She has secured significant external funding, including from NSF and internal university programs, supporting lab development (e.g., Neoma MC-ICP-MS) and student research. She actively promotes student participation in conferences and field expeditions.
Labs and Collaborations:
She directs the MagMaX Lab at the University of Utah, which collaborates internationally with institutions such as Cardiff University, VU Amsterdam, CRPG (France), and UNIL (Switzerland). She is involved in major projects like IODP Expeditions and serves as a handling editor for Advances in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry.
