Research —

Malisse is focused on understanding the connections between glacier meltwater and stream discharge in the Himalayas. Using a combination of GIS, coding, and statistical software, Malisse is working on identifying physical glacier characteristics that may account for changes in glacial volume over time in conjunction with climate change. Her work has implications on the long term security of the local water supply for communities in High Mountain Asia.
