Education
Das holds a Ph.D. in Geosciences from Pennsylvania State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Geological Sciences from Cornell University.[3]
Scholarship
Das' research interests are in glaciology and paleoclimatology, and teaching interests are in polar science, climate change, and experiential outdoor science education.[4]
Her scholarly contributions have been featured in journals such as Nature, and circulated in news media such as CNN, USA Today, Forbes, National Geographic, and The Guardian.[5] She also has been leading scientific expeditions to the polar ice sheets for over 25 years.[6][7] She is a principal investigator at the Disko Bay Ice Coring Project.[8]
Her research with the Woodwell Climate Research Center was presented at the Conference of Parties or COP26 titled "Refreeze the Arctic: Increasing our Ambition to Maintain a Safe and Stable Climate."[9][10]
She has studied Greenland ice cores to study climate history,[11][12][13] and she has documented increasing melt rates.[14][15]
Das has served on the U.S. National Academies Polar Research Board.[16]
