KMap
My main research interests are in critical water governance, transboundary climate vulnerability and adaptation, water equity and security, and water and climate justice. I primarily work in the interior of Mexico and the US-Mexico border region, and in the southwestern US, and have interests in Central America (El Salvador, Honduras, and Panama) as well.
