Kim Morris is primarily associated with the Snow, Ice and Permafrost Group and studies snow and lake and river ice. She is the project scientist and coordinator for the Alaska Lake Ice and Snow Observatory Network (ALISON) and has written the Ice Seasonality Protocol for the GLOBE Seasons and Biomes Project. She has used remotely sensed data to study:
(1) sea ice conditions in the Beaufort Sea (Arctic) and the Ross, Amundsen and Bellingshausen seas (Antarctic) (AVHRR and ERS-1);
(2) the evolution of the ice cover on lakes on the North Slope (Alaska), (ERS-1 and RADARSAT-1); and
(3) the flooding of coastal sea ice by spring river runoff along the Beaufort Sea Coast (Alaska), (ERS-1 & 2 and RADARSAT-1)."
