Devon Gorbey is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University at Buffalo. Her dissertation research explores the response of Arctic precipitation to changes in climate over the past 200,000 years. To generate these paleoclimate records, she measures the stable isotopic composition of ancient plant matter preserved in lake sediment. After graduation, she aims to pursue a career that lies at the intersection of climate change research and science policy. Before pursuing her Ph.D., she earned a B.S. in Geology and Environmental Geosciences at Lafayette College and worked as an environmental consultant.
