Sarah Das

Sarah Das is an American glaciologist and climate scientist. She works at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.

Education[edit]

Das holds a Ph.D. in Geosciences from Pennsylvania State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Geological Sciences from Cornell University.[1]

Scholarship[edit]

Das' research interests are in glaciology and paleoclimatology, and teaching interests are in polar science, climate change, and experiential outdoor science education.[2]

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.[3] She also has been leading scientific expeditions to the polar ice sheets for over 25 years.[4][5] She is a principal investigator at the Disko Bay Ice Coring Project.[6]

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."[7][8]

She has studied Greenland ice cores, to study climate history,[9][10][11] She documented increasing melt rates.[12][13]

Das has served on the U.S. National Academies Polar Research Board.[14]
