Ecohydrology of the Andes Páramo Region (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Andean páramos have been widely recognized for sustaining biodiversity, carbon sequestration and water storage. The contribution of this research is to contribute to the understanding of the interactions between processes of different nature through the integration of field experiments and modelling techniques that represent the functioning of the Andean páramos, and to propose a series of environmental services indicators to quantify the regulation and maintenance services. This research contributes to the understanding of the interactions, feedbacks and functioning of the páramo ecosystem with a case study in northern Ecuador as a step towards an effective ecosystem management plan.

Autorenporträt

Veronica Minaya is a PhD candidate in Eco-hydrology at UNESCO-IHE and TU-Delft, the Netherlands. She has a background in Civil Engineer with two Msc degrees in Water Resources (2008) and Environmental Sciences (2010). She has extensive fieldwork experience in Ecuador (highlands and rainforest regions) and in Kenya (Mara River). Veronica's PhD research uses a biogeochemical model to look at carbon, nitrogen, water cycles in a combined glacier - grassland catchment in the Ecuadorian Andes. She is also interested in research development, and women & youth empowerment. Veronica is actively involved in youth organizations, president of the IAHR-YPN Delft and member of the Water Youth Network.
