[more]As photography transformed the practice of astronomy, Harvard Observatory funded a group of women to analyze the glass plates to determine the brightness and position of the stars.
[more]"I am interested in learning about how development is impacting the everyday life and culture of the Bhutanese. Specifically, my research focuses on the nomadic yak herders of Merak, a town in Bhutan. The Graduate Alumni Research Award allowed me to afford travel to Bhutan to live there for several months with a Bhutanese family.

[more]The objective of my graduate work is to elucidate the dynamics of the debris-covered glaciers in the Himalayan region of HMA and to quantify their melt. Glaciers whose melt zones are covered in rock from the surrounding valley walls comprise a significant portion of the ice in HMA; roughly two-thirds of glaciers in the South Central Himalaya have at least 20% debris cover. But these glaciers behave quite differently than clean ones, and their melt is more difficult to detect and model.
