I am interested in how interdisciplinary approaches such as political ecology and land use science can address human-environmental dynamics. In particular, I seek to understand the historical and current forest transition driven by the combination of policies, land management, asymmetric power relations between actors, biophysical aspects and socioeconomic models in southern Mexico.
