Rajashree Datta

Rajashree Datta is an Assistant Professor of Digital Twins at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Delft University of Technology. She studies cryospheric processes with a focus on climate-ice sheet interactions, utilizing variable-resolution Earth system models (VR-ESMs) and satellite remote sensing. Previous affiliations include the University of Colorado, ESSIC/UMD/NASA, Lamont-Doherty Labs, and City University of New York.

• Current research connects global climate drivers (ocean warming, sea ice loss) to Antarctic ice sheet surface impacts
• Specializes in high-resolution earth modeling and multi-source satellite analysis

Her recent work examines atmospheric rivers, foehn wind effects, and firn evolution dynamics. She has developed novel methods for satellite-based lake bathymetry analysis and served as a PI in NASA's Small Satellite Databuy Program.
