Agrologist, with experience in the development of diagnostic studies environmental planning, agro-ecological zoning, environmental zoning and environmental management plans, through the characterization of soils, interpretation of aerial photographs and satellite imagery processing, with emphasis on physiographic analysis terrain, vegetation cover, land use and soil degradation by erosion in dry areas._x000D_
_x000D_
During the development of the various projects I have applied modern techniques like geo-statistics for the analysis and interpretation spatialization of climatic and pedological information. As for precision agriculture have implemented land evaluation as a method for identifying optimal areas for the development of crops such as sisal on slopes among others._x000D_

I have also participated in the development and implementation of the methodology to evaluate and update the vulnerability of Colombian territory to desertification and drought in the context of climate change, through the application of geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing. _x000D_
Geographic areas of field experience: Colombia, Dry areas, Dry areas like Patia, Chicamocha, Cesar, Villa de Leyva
