Violaine Sautter is a French planetary scientist. Her early work involved the geology at ultradeep levels of the Earth; more recently, her interests have turned to the geology of Mars, particularly concentrating on Martian meteorites and the Gale Crater.[1] She is a director of research for the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), affiliated with the Institut de minéralogie, de physique des matériaux et de cosmochimie (IMPMC) at Sorbonne University.[2]
Education and career
[edit]Sautter earned a Ph.D. in 1983 through the National Museum of Natural History, France (MNHN) and Pierre and Marie Curie University, and completed a Thèse d’Etat in 1989 at Pierre and Marie Curie University.[2] Her 1989 dissertation, Le clinopyroxène alumineux : la mémoire chimique du manteau supérieur lithosphérique, was directed by Olivier Jaoul.[3]
After postdoctoral research in the Grant Institute of Geology at the University of Edinburgh, she joined the CNRS as a junior scientist in 1985, and has been a director of research since 2000.[2]
