معرفی
Indrani Das is a Lamont Associate Research Professor at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University. Her research focuses on glaciology and ice sheet dynamics, particularly the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets and ice shelves. She uses satellite and airborne remote sensing techniques, including radar imaging, to study ice-ocean-atmosphere interactions and processes affecting ice mass balance. Das specializes in grounding zone dynamics of glaciers like Thwaites Glacier, combining ice sheet modeling with observational data. Her work involves collaboration with tools such as ISSM and Ua models to understand basal mass balance and model inversions.
Education: Bachelors/Masters in Physics and Particle Physics; PhD in Atmospheric Physics; postdoctoral research in ice sheets, mountain glaciers, and climate change. Her expertise spans glaciological remote sensing, ice dynamics, and climate impacts. Current projects include studying Thwaites Glacier’s vulnerability and Antarctic ice shelf stability through interdisciplinary approaches.
Research interests include cryospheric processes, polar studies, and geophysics. She contributes to initiatives like the ROSETTA-Ice surveys and utilizes airborne radar data to map subglacial environments. Das has published extensively on ice shelf stability, grounding zone processes, and glaciological modeling. Her work bridges observational data and computational models to advance understanding of climate-driven ice sheet changes.
