Graduate Student
Ibuki is a Ph.D. student at Columbia University in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. She is interested in the ocean’s role in past, modern, and future climates, and she is exploring the effects of ocean-atmosphere interactions on climate change and variability using both paleo and modern data. She is co-advised by Jason Smerdon and Richard Seager at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University in the City of New York.
Ibuki graduated from Smith College in 2022 with a B.A. in Geosciences and Mathematics. For her honors thesis research, she reconstructed past regional temperature from lake sediments collected at Darwin Crater, Tasmania using the brGDGT biomarker proxy (Thesis advisor: Gregory de Wet).
