Celia Dalou
EAG Councillor
Celia Dalou is a CNRS researcher in experimental petrology at the Centre de Recherches Pétrographiques et Géochimiques (CRPG, CNRS) in Nancy, France. Her research focuses on the partitioning and isotopic fractionation of volatile elements (H, C, N, S) during melting, degassing, evaporation, and metal–silicate segregation. By bridging experimental petrology, geochemistry, and planetary science, her work advances understanding of the role of volatiles in Earth’s chemical evolution, planetary differentiation, and the origin of planetary volatile inventories. She earned her PhD in 2011 at the Laboratoire Magmas et Volcans (Université Blaise Pascal, Clermont-Ferrand), followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the Carnegie Institution of Washington and by a position as research associate at the University of Minnesota. She joined the CRPG in 2017, where she is now a permanent CNRS researcher.
