Sarah Dare

Sarah Dare graduated from Cambridge University, UK, in 2003 (B.A. and M.Sc.) and obtained her Ph.D. from Cardiff University, UK, in 2008. She carried out postdoctoral work at UQAC on magmatic deposits (Ni-Cu-PGE sulphides and Fe-Ti-V-P oxides) between 2008 and 2014. Sarah was a professor at the University of Ottawa (2014–2018) before returning to UQAC as a professor in 2018, where she holds a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in geochemistry applied to metal deposits. Since 2020, she has been director of LabMaTer, a world-renowned geochemical laboratory for the analysis of deposit materials. Her research interests focus on the study of magmatic deposits and their host intrusions. She uses trace elements contained in ores (sulphides, Fe oxides, apatite) to unravel ore formation processes and develop indicator minerals for exploration. Sarah received two Young Scientist Awards from the Geological Association of Canada’s Mineral Deposits Division in 2016 and from the Society for Geology Applied to Mineral Deposits (SGA) in 2017.
