Tripti Bhattacharya is the Thonis Family Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Syracuse University.[1][2]

Education

[edit]

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]

Career

[edit]

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]

Service

[edit]

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]

Awards

[edit]

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]
