I am broadly interested in communication of science in the field of natural resources management. My academic interests range from the ecological implications of climate change to ecosystem-based adaptation strategies for human populations. Thanks to serveral sponsor organizations, I have participated in research projects in North, Central and South America, early in my career as part of a master program at the University of Florida, then as volunteer and knowledge management advisor for Cuso International and the Iberoamerican Model Forest Network in Costa Rica, and later during my PhD program in Germany and Ecuador.
