Marty D. Frisbee studies how groundwater moves through mountains, deserts, and glacial landscapes, and how that water sustains springs, streams, and the microorganisms and animals that depend on them. His work combines geochemistry, isotope tracing, and hydrology to understand groundwater's role during droughts, wildfires, and glacial retreat, often in places like the Sierra Nevada, Great Basin, and Death Valley region.
