630 Dow Environmental Sciences 1400 Townsend Drive Houghton, Mi 49931

I do research and supervise postgraduate studies in areas of ecosystem services monitoring, modeling, and management, and for the assessment of market mechanisms for conservation, including water PES, energy security PES and carbon based REDD+ projects.

Washington D.C. Metro Area

I provided expertise on assessing forest monitoring gaps in Latin America in order to reduce barriers to the implementation of REDD+ projects, particularly in Colombia, in Collaboration with colleagues at the Global Forest Watch initiative of WRI.

Washington D.C. Metro Area

I supported the 20x20 Initiative in proposal writing to develop policy relevant projects in Latin America around the need to protect and restore cloud forests to increase the firm energy output of existing dams and therefore reduce the need for construction of new and often controversial dam projects, improve the conservation of cloud forests, which are among the most biodiverse places on earth, and help governments focus scarce climate change adaptation resources, in the energy sector in Latin America, on one of the most costs effective solutions, protect and restore cloud forests, with sound GHG emission reductions and biodiversity conservation benefits.

Arlington, Va

I provide expertise in eco-hydrology, green infrastructure, sustainable hydropower, ecosystem services, and water and carbon markets with a view to optimize the management of ecosystem services for people and biodiversity in a climate of change and in an urbanizing world.
