Awards[editar]

Karen Harvey Prize, for outstanding early career contributions

PUNCH Role[editar]

Organize and lead the PUNCH Science Team and interface between the Science Team and the PI. Track and maintain observing requirements driven by the Science Objectives.

Experience Relevant to PUNCH[editar]

Dr. Sarah Gibson examines solar drivers of the space environment, from short-term space weather drivers such as coronal mass ejections, to long-term solar cycle variation.

Dr. Gibson has extensive experience leading scientific teams. She led the international Whole Sun Month (WSM) and Whole Heliosphere Interval (WHI) coordinated observing and modeling efforts to characterize the 3D interconnected solar-heliospheric-planetary system at solar minimum, and is currently leading a multi-institutional effort to quantify the magnetic field of the Sun’s atmosphere. She has led ISSI International Teams on the subjects of Prominence Cavities and Coronal Magnetism, and is responsible for the oversight and ongoing development of the FORWARD SolarSoft IDL code suite, with input from more than a dozen community authors. Dr. Gibson participated in the Nov. 1997 and Nov. 1998 flights of the Spartan space shuttle payload in support of the white-light coronagraph.

Supporting Experience[editar]

Dr. Gibson uses theoretical models to understand the magnetic origins of CMEs and related space weather phenomena. A particular focus is observations and models of coronal prominence cavities, which are long-lived structures in the Sun’s atmosphere that store the magnetic energy liberated in CMEs.



Dr. Gibson’s research centers on solar drivers of the terrestrial environment, from short-term space weather drivers such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), to long-term solar cycle variation.

Dr. Gibson uses theoretical models to understand the magnetic origins of CMEs and related space weather phenomena. Dr. Gibson has led International Space Science Institute (Switzerland) International Teams on the subjects of Prominence Cavities and Coronal Magnetism. She has authored a Living Review in Solar Physics on Coronal Prominence Theory. She is the primary author of the FORWARD suite of SolarSoft IDL codes for model-data comparison, and is Project Scientist on NASA's PUNCH mission.

Dr. Gibson also led the international Whole Sun Month and Whole Heliosphere Interval coordinated observing and modeling efforts to characterize the three-dimensional, interconnected solar-heliospheric-planetary system at solar minimum, and an International Astronomical Union (IAU) Working Group on Comparative Solar Minimum to promote analyses of the degree and nature of variations within and between minima. She is currently involved in a project to archive and analyze multi-decadal solar observational records, and is supporting the new Whole Heliosphere and Planetary Interactions campaign.

Dr. Gibson was the recipient of the American Astronomical Society – Solar Physics Division 2005 Karen Harvey Prize. She was a Scientific Editor for the Astrophysical Journal and has served on many national and international committees. She was recently a member of Executive Committee of the National Academies' Space Studies Board, co-chair of its Committee on Solar and Space Physics, and is currently President of the IAU Division E (Sun and Heliosphere).

Dr. Gibson is committed to education and public outreach. She gave the first of NCAR’s 50th anniversary public lectures, participated in the NOVA episode "Secrets of the Sun" and NBC Learn's "When Nature Strikes: Space Weather" (NSF/TWC), and has written a blog post for the Huffington Post entitled "Living with Space Weather (Baby, It's Charged Outside)". She also prepared and presented oral (starting ~1:21:07) and written testimony before the Joint Subcommittees on Space and Environment Committee on Science, Space, and Technology (U. S. House of Representatives; 2018).


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,[3]​[4]​[5]​ and for organizing scientific collaborations that advance global understanding of the Sun and heliosphere.[6]​[7]​[8]​ 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.
