Sarah Louis is a Research Fellow and PhD student at the University of Göttingen's Department of Structural Geology and Geodynamics, with additional affiliation to RWTH Aachen University's School of Geosciences, Energy & Mineral Resources Group. Her work centers on structural geology and geodynamics within the DFG Priority Program 'Mountain Building Processes in Four Dimensions (MB-4D)', focusing on alpine basin evolution and hydrothermal systems.
Her academic background includes:
- Hydrogeology and Environmental Geosciences (M.Sc.), University of Göttingen (2014-2017)
- Geosciences (B.Sc.), University of Göttingen (2011-2014)
- International Business (A.Sc.), Westchester Community College, Valhalla, NY, USA (2007-2010)
Her research spans Mountain Building Processes, Structural Geology, Geodynamics, Thermochronology, Hydrogeology, and Hydrothermal Systems. She generates Apatite-(U-Th)/He and fission track datasets to model Molasse Basin exhumation, while also investigating hydrothermal evolution in Nevada using high-resolution thermochronology and numerical tools like Beo.py. This dual focus integrates tectonic and hydrological processes in mountain belt analysis.
Publications demonstrate consistent application of thermochronology and modeling across geological contexts, with emphasis on basin dynamics in the Alps and hydrothermal systems in Nevada. Her work bridges structural geology, geodynamics, and hydrogeology through advanced numerical techniques.
Funded by the DFG Priority Program MB-4D, she operates within collaborative research teams without current advising responsibilities. Her methodology relies heavily on PyBasin and Beo.py numerical frameworks for thermal and kinematic reconstructions.
