Tripti Bhattacharya is a climate scientist.

Bhattacharya is an Assistant Professor of Earth and Environmental Science at Syracuse University.

In 2016, Bhattacharya received a Ph.D. in paleoclimatology and climate dynamics from the University of California, Berkeley. After her Ph.D, she did a postdoc at the University of Arizona where she studied how monsoons respond to climate change. In 2017, Bhattacharya appeared on The Takeaway discussing her work and the state of funding for climate research. She commented that climate change is "a running thread through most climate scientists work."

In 2018, she told the Arizona Daily Star that “The past is like a natural experiment to understand how the climate works,” Bhattacharya said, “but there are many different scientific lessons you can take from the past and that is hopefully where this work will go in the future.” In 2020 she appeared on The News with Shepard Smith, commenting that "An extreme event means very real human suffering. Rainfall decreases and temperature increases that result in drought that we've never seen before."
