Sarah E. Gibson is an American solar physicist. She leads the Solar Frontiers Section of the High Altitude Observatory in Boulder, Colorado. She is noted for extensive work developing the theory of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and their precursors,[1][2][3] and for organizing scientific collaborations that advance global understanding of the Sun and heliosphere.[4][5][6] She is a recipient of the Solar Physics Division's Karen Harvey Prize for early achievement in solar physics, is a current member of the National Academy's Space Studies Board and co-chair of its Committee on Solar and Space Physics, and is President of the IAU's Division E (Sun and Heliosphere). As of 2019, Dr. Gibson is the for the PUNCH Small Explorer mission being built for NASA.
Education[]
Gibson received her Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from the University of Stanford in 1989,[7] then a Master of Science degree in Astrophysics from the University of Colorado in 1993.[8] Shortly after, she completed her PhD, also at the University of Colorado.[9]
Research and career[]
Gibson's research interests include solar physics and space weather phenomena.
