I am a theoretical physicist-turned-ecologist out of love for the mountains, based in Mérida, Venezuela. I have been involved in research and public communication work around the Sierra Nevada glaciers, including the "Last Venezuelan Glacier" project. Currently collaborating with Adaptation at Altitude-Andes in communication efforts.
