Research Interests
Recent research:
The research focuses on the multifaceted impacts of climate change across the diverse ecosystems of the Andean region and equatorial South America. By integrating meteorological data, satellite observations, and paleoclimatic archives, the work evaluates climate variability and its consequences for agriculture, human health, and natural ecosystems. Key contributions include the assessment of future agricultural productivity under various climate scenarios, the analysis of heat-stress mortality risks, and the investigation of the relationship between precipitable water vapor and extreme rainfall events. Furthermore, the research explores the influence of the Intertropical Convergence Zone on tree-ring isotopes, providing insights into environmental adaptation and phenology. Beyond physical and environmental modeling, the work adopts an interdisciplinary perspective to examine how indigenous and urban communities perceive and respond to climatic shifts, emphasizing the role of governance and policy in fostering resilience and transformative adaptation strategies.
