Work experience
During my 40 years as a geographer, I have focused my research, mainly in rural and urban land planning, water basin management, human sustainable development and more recently in climate change adaptation processes in Peru and other South American countries (earlier in India and Thailand). My interest is to study ways of integrated ecosystemic services, water management, and risks (droughts and floods) with land planning at a water basin, regional and national level. Part of my interests includes is also to develop training and educational programmes on Integrated water resources management. It includes geomorphology, climatology, ecology and social sciences as well as GIS as a technical and scientific support to my research. I am the focal point for gender/water and energy of the National Academy of Sciences of Peru in the Inter-American Network of Academies of Science._x000D_
