Ryan Glaubke

Ryan H. Glaubke is an oceanographer and paleoclimatologist whose work centers on understanding how the ocean shapes Earth’s climate from interannual to glacial–interglacial timescales. He is broadly interested in the reconstructing past ocean conditions from periods of Earth’s history that could serve as “natural analogues” to the rate and magnitude of our modern climate crisis. He received his PhD from Rutgers University before joining the Paleo2 Laboratory at the University of Arizona in the Fall of 2024. His current research is focused on whether the tropical Indian Ocean supported a new and potentially significant mode of climate variability during the Pliocene—a warm period approximately 3 million years ago that resembles Earth’s future climate. In his free time, you can find Ryan hiking, running, surfing, reading, or supporting his favorite soccer club.
