Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSara Polanco is a Senior Lecturer and geoscientist with eight years of academic and industry experience studying how landscapes evolve and influence water resources and carbon cycles. Her work spans sediment transport, land-ocean connectivity, climatic-tectonic interactions, numerical modeling, and isotopic geochemistry, informed by a PhD in Petroleum Geology and an MPhil from the University of Minnesota. A Fulbright Scholar at Caltech and a postdoc in ARC-funded basin geodynamics, she bridges field observations, “big data” analysis and high-performance computing to tackle environmental and resource challenges. Sara’s career traces an international arc from Colombia through the US to Australia, combining petroleum-industry experience with academic research on rivers, deltas and basins. She is motivated by translating geoscience into sustainable solutions aligned with the UN SDGs, and notably applies modern analogue and virtual (numerical) approaches to link ancient and contemporary sedimentary systems.
