Goto-Azuma has analysed ice cores from both polar regions[3] and participated in Antarctic research expeditions to study the deep ice cores drilled at Dome Fuji.[4] She analyses Arctic and Antarctic deep ice cores, with the goal of shedding light on the mechanism of glacial-interglacial cycles and the mechanisms behind the millennial-scale changes in global climate and environment.[5][6]
Goto-Azuma was awarded the Hirata Prize of the Japanese Society of Snow and Ice in 1998.[13] She also received a European Commission Marie Curie Fellowship Supporting international mobility and training in Bizkaia (B-MOB).
