Biography

Sarah Falkowski is a Research Scientist at the University of Glasgow, UK, specializing in low-temperature thermochronology within the School of Geographical and Earth Sciences. With an academic background encompassing a postdoctoral role at the University of Tübingen, Germany, and a visiting researcher position at the University of Cincinnati, she has a deep commitment to understanding the interactions between tectonics and (paleo-)climate, Earth’s surface processes, and geological time scales. Her doctoral research focused on the Cenozoic evolution of the Yakutat-North American collision zone in southeast Alaska. Falkowski is particularly interested in the thermochronologic applications that study the evolution of mountainous regions adjacent to sedimentary basins, aiming to integrate thermochronology data sets with modelling to decipher influences on topography and erosion patterns. Her recent and ongoing projects reflect her expertise in geochronological methods and the thermal history of granites in the context of geological research. She actively supervises master’s and doctoral level students in the broad area of thermochronology and Earth surface processes while fostering collaborations with other institutions and researchers.
