Sujata Murty is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Atmospheric & Environmental Sciences at the University at Albany (SUNY), since Spring 2021. Her research focuses on reconstructing past ocean and climate systems using coral proxies to understand long-term hydrological and temperature changes. She holds a PhD in Earth Sciences from Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
Key research interests include Indo-Pacific oceanography, paleoclimatology, and climate variability analysis. Her work integrates coral geochemical records (δ18O, Sr/Ca, Ba/Ca, and Δ14C) with ocean models to study monsoon dynamics, Indonesian throughflow variability, and decadal-scale climate drivers. Notable projects include the CoralHydro2k database—a global compilation of coral proxy records to reconstruct tropical hydroclimate.
Her publications emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to decode historical climate patterns, such as reconstructing Red Sea surface hydrology, Australian monsoon sensitivity to volcanic eruptions, and interhemispheric rainfall linkages. Collaborative efforts with international teams highlight her role in advancing proxy-based climate reconstructions and improving calibration methods for coral-derived data.
While no formal awards are listed, her contributions to paleoceanography and climate science are evident through her extensive publication record and active participation in global initiatives like the PAGES CoralHydro2k Project.
