Direcror, Neotropical Montology Collaboratory

As a mountain geographer, I direct the Neotropical Montology Collaboratory, a research platform to incubate applied research on tropical mountains' biocultural heritage conservation with development. I developed the Sarmiento trilemma for Andean identity, and work to highlight the ecological legacies of the Andean flank from a decolonial scholarship lens with critical biogeography and landscape ecology methods in mountainscapes and riverscapes of tropandean ecosystems.
