Tripti Bhattacharya is the Thonis Family Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Syracuse University. [1] [2]
Bhattacharya graduated from Georgetown University in 2010 with a B.S. in Environmental Science. She earned her PhD in Geography at the University of California, Berkeley, where she was a NSF-GRFP fellow. Her thesis was titled "Causes and Impacts of Rainfall Variability In Central Mexico on Multiple Timescales". [3] Her research won the Denise Gaudreau Award for Excellence in Quaternary Studies, from the American Quaternary Association in 2014. [4]
She trained as a postdoctoral researcher at University of Arizona with Jessica Tierney. [5] [6]
Bhattacharya joined Syracuse University's College of Arts and Sciences as an assistant professor in 2018. [7]
She works on the relationship between ancient regional rainfall and global climate change. [8] [9] Her work creates climate models using geochemical and biological traces left by past climates (proxies). [1] [10] [11] Her research on the Pliocene, a period with similar greenhouse gas levels to those in today's atmosphere, is part of the 2nd Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP2). [2] [12] [13] She has created a framework to interpret ancient sea surface temperature. [14] [15]
Her research on regional rainfall and climate change was cited in the United Nations' 2022 climate change report. [16] [17]
Bhattacharya is a member of the American Geophysical Union, and a board member of her specialty group in the Association of American Geographers, and has worked to promote diversity in STEM fields. [18] [19]
In 2021, Bhattacharya was one of eight climate researcher at a workshop organized by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM). The collaboration was to identify potential future paleoclimate research directions. [20] [21]
Bhattacharya was awarded Syracuse University’s Meredith Teaching Recognition Award in 2021. [22]
In 2023, she was awarded a National Science Foundation CAREER grant
In 2023 she was also awarded a Sloan Research Fellowship. [23] [24]
