Hi I’m Laura Garza a PhD Student in Hydrologic Sciences. My research is focused in the region of the Rio Grande/ Rio Bravo a transboundary basin shared between Mexico and the US which is subject to a wide range of hydrologic and climatic challenges under a complex political climate.  I am highly motivated in finding sustainable solutions and adaptation strategies that help water scarce basins to balance nature, culture, social and economic aspects. My higher purpose is to make a difference and contribute on preserving ecological functions in rivers all over the world.

Laura holds an NSF from the Mexican National Council for Science and Technology (CONACYT) and received her master's degree in Applied Ecology from the University of Kiel, Germany. Email: legarza@ucdavis.edu

I'm a climate change vlogger and a PhD candidate in Geography at UC Davis. 

I work in the intersection of climate, economy and ecology. My research is particularly focused on climate impacts on natural capital and its associated effects on ecosystems services and human well-being. 

I am co-host and creator of the YouTube channel Planeteando, a platform for climate change and environmental science communication. Email: bastien@ucdavis.edu

Originally from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. I am a PhD student in the epidemiology program at UC Davis. I work with transboundary diseases in production animals. I am interested in the applications of methods of network theory and spatial analysis to develop tools that inform decision making in disease prevention and control. In my free time I like to play music, go to concerts and go hiking.
