Sarah E. Gibson

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 project scientist for the PUNCH Small Explorer mission being built for NASA.
