Paridhi Rustogi

Dr. Paridhi Rustogi is a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, working with Professor Galen McKinley. She received her Ph.D. in Biogeochemical Oceanography from Princeton University in 2026. Her research focuses on air–sea gas exchange and the role of waves and bubbles in regulating gas exchange between the ocean and atmosphere. She combines ocean biogeochemical modeling with observations to better understand the physical and biogeochemical processes governing ocean carbon and oxygen cycling and their responses to climate change.
